Owono enduring ‘hardest days of my life’ after De Miguel death
Tenerife striker De Miguel died on Tuesday as a result of injuries from a collision with FC Andorra goalkeeper Owono.
FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono said he is enduring the “hardest days of my life” after the death of Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel, whom he collided with during a Spanish second division match on Monday.
The 30-year-old Spanish footballer died on Tuesday as a result of injuries he suffered in the collision with Equatorial Guinea international Owono, who had raced into midfield to clear an aerial ball.
“These are the hardest days of my life. I struggle to find the words, and it is very difficult for me to process anything that has happened,” said Owono in a statement published by his club Andorra on Wednesday.
“From the Equatorial Guinea Football Federation, we offer him all our human and professional backing, fully aware of the harshness of this event, which no one in our sport ever wishes to witness.”
