Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono undecided on football return after Jesus de Miguel’s tragic death

FC Andorra Carles Manso said on Thursday that goalkeeper Jesus Owono has not yet decided whether he will return to competition following the death of Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel. De Miguel died in hospital on 4 November, the day after a collision with Owono on the pitch during a Spanish football match. Owono, who is Equatorial Guinea's goalkeeper, released a statement through Andorra last week in which he described the ordeal as "the most difficult days of my life." Manso has now offered an update on Jesus Owono, telling a press conference: "What we have to do is support him in every way and be close to him. "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." Tenerife paid tribute to Jesus de Miguel over the weekend following his death last week (Getty) Manso said Owono was spending time with his family, friends and partner and described the aftermath of last week’s tragedy as 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 for Equatorial Guinea. He was not called up for his country's doubleheader with Zimbabwe during this international break. Andorra travel to Almeria on Saturday for their first fixture since De Miguel's death. Over the weekend, the Tenerife players and thousands of fans paid an emotional final tribute to De Miguel at the club’s stadium. A massive banner displaying his black-and-white photograph and the words "Forever Demi", a reference to the player’s nickname, hung behind a central pitch stage at the Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez. Following a video showing footage of his Tenerife debut, fans chanted: "De Miguel, we love you". Players sat beside representatives from all clubs in Spain's top two divisions, including Real Madrid director Emilio Butragueno, as tears fell in the stands. "To speak of you in the past tense is tremendously unfair," Tenerife captain Enric Gallego said, pausing repeatedly during his speech. "It's still hard to believe that this has happened to us, Demi; you'll always be one of us." "We're still struggling to come to terms with the fact that you won't be with us again.”
