The media in Spain have provided an update on FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono after the tragic death of Jesus de Miguel.

Earlier in the month, it was confirmed that CD Tenerife striker De Miguel had passed away at the age of just 30, on the back of a serious incident during a Spanish Segunda Division match against FC Andorra.

During stoppage time, the match was called off when De Miguel appeared to lose consciousness after a challenge from Owono, who was then sent off.

After De Miguel’s death, it was reported by the BBC that police in Spain have opened an investigation into possible involuntary manslaughter following the Spaniard’s death. The report stated: "Under Spanish law, any death that is deemed non-natural automatically triggers a judicial inquiry."

Jesus Owono Makes Request to Jesus de Miguel's Family

Now, according to Spanish news outlet Marca, Owono has made a request to reach out to De Miguel’s family.

It has been claimed that Owono has asked FC Andorra to try to set up a meeting, by letter, by phone or by travelling to Toledo, with De Miguel’s family.

The report stated that Owono wants to reach out to De Miguel’s family in order to ‘share in their grief and offer his condolences in person’.

In addition, it has been claimed that Owono ‘wanted to call the family the day after the accident and even discussed the possibility of attending the funeral with those close to him’. However, it is believed that ‘both the club and his own inner circle advised him to wait a while longer’.

After Andorra reached out, it has been reported that DC Tenerife asked for more time out of respect for the De Miguel family. It is also unclear whether Owono will return to football.

Speaking recently, as reported by BBC Sport, FC Andorra manager Carles Manso stated that Owono is yet to decide on his own footballing future.

He said: “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.

“When he feels it is appropriate and when he feels genuinely ready to take a decision ⁠like that [he will do so].”
