FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono has been handed a 12-match suspension by the Spanish Football Federation's disciplinary committee following a challenge that led to the death of CD Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel. The ban, issued on Friday, represents the maximum punishment permissible under the federation's rules for the offense as described in the referee's report. Owono was sent off during the second division match on November 2nd after colliding with de Miguel, who tragically passed away the following day.
In the wake of the incident, Owono has expressed profound grief over the loss of de Miguel. FC Andorra manager Carles Manso has stated that the goalkeeper is currently undecided about his future in football and has not yet determined whether he will return to playing action. The suspension adds a significant layer of consequence to the tragic event, leaving Owono to grapple with both the disciplinary action and the personal impact of the fatal collision.
