FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono said Wednesday 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.
“I struggle to find the words and it is very difficult for me to process anything that has happened. I feel immense pain over the loss of Jesus. I think of him, of his family, and of all the people who loved him,” said Owono in a statement published by his club Andorra.
De Miguel died on Tuesday at the age of 30, a day after suffering a cardiac arrest following a collision during the match, the Spanish second-tier club said.
