FC Andorra keeper uncertain of return after De Miguel tragedy, says manager

FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono is yet to decide whether he will return to competition, ​the club's manager Carles Manso said on Thursday, ‌following the tragic death of Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel on 3 November.

Owono was involved in a collision with ​De Miguel on the pitch last week and ​the 30-year-old died in hospital the following ⁠day.

The Equatorial Guinea goalkeeper released a statement through Andorra ​last week in which he described the ordeal as "the ​most difficult days of my life."

"What we have to do is support him in every way and be close to ​him," Manso said in a press conference.

"We will ​give him space so that he feels completely free to make ‌any ⁠decision, whether he wants to return, when, or if he does not want to return."

Manso said that Owono was spending time with his family, friends ​and partner and ​that it ⁠was a "very complicated situation to manage.

"When he feels it is appropriate and when ​he feels genuinely ready to take a ​decision ⁠like that (he will do so)," added Manso.

Owono has 47 caps but was not called up for Equatorial Guinea's ⁠doubleheader with ​Zimbabwe in this international break.

Andorra ​travel to Almeria on Saturday for their first fixture since De ​Miguel's death.
