Jesus Owono yet to decide his future after Jesus de Miguel tragedy

FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono has not decided whether to continue his professional football career following the tragic death of Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel after their on-field collision.

The 25-year-old Equatorial Guinea international has reportedly been considering retirement, but Andorra head coach Carles Manso insists no decision has been made.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Manso revealed that Owono remains deeply affected by the incident and is currently spending time with his family, friends and partner.

“Obviously, Jesús Owono is very affected by this situation. It is a very delicate matter, and we must respect his recovery process and privacy,” Manso explained.

The coach also dismissed reports suggesting the goalkeeper had already decided to retire.

“We will give him the space he needs to feel completely free to decide whether he wants to return, when he wants to return, or whether he does not want to return,” he added.

Owono has not resumed training since the incident, while FC Andorra have promised to support him throughout this difficult period.

The club will face Almería on Saturday in its first match since the tragedy, with Owono’s future remaining uncertain.
