Owono undecided on future after De Miguel death

FC Andorra manager Carles Manso has stated that goalkeeper Jesus Owono has not yet determined if he will continue his football career following the passing of Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel. The 25-year-old player was dismissed from the pitch after a collision with De Miguel during a Spanish second division fixture on 2 November, and the forward died in hospital the next day.

Manso explained that the goalkeeper is currently at home with his relatives and is under no pressure regarding his professional future. According to the manager, the club intends to provide the player with support and space, noting that he is "completely free to make any decision" about a return to the sport. Manso added: "When he feels it is appropriate and when he feels genuinely ready to take a decision like that [he will do so]."

In a statement issued by the club on 4 November, Owono described the situation as "the most difficult days of my life". The Equatorial Guinea international expressed his condolences, stating: "I feel enormous pain over the loss of Jesus. I think of him, his family, and everyone who loved him."

FC Andorra is scheduled to resume their season this Saturday in a Spanish second division match against Almeria.
