LaLiga postpones Andorra-Mallorca after Jesús de Miguel's death

LaLiga has accepted the request from FC Andorra: the Matchday 13 clash against Mallorca, scheduled for this Sunday at 2 pm, is officially postponed. The club announced the decision this Wednesday, after the death of Jesús de Miguel, Tenerife's striker. Tenerife's next match is also suspended.

According to Mundo Deportivo, on Tuesday club president Ferran Vilaseca appeared at the Joan Samarra Comunal stadium to request the suspension, flanked by Gerard Piqué, Jaume Nogués and Carles Manso. Vilaseca said the club is one team on and off the pitch, and that now more than ever they must stick together and look after one another, with psychological support for anyone who needs it.

On Wednesday morning Andorra returned to training at the Comunal in a voluntary session. Five or six players were absent, including Jesús Owono, who continues receiving psychological help. Before starting, the squad observed a minute's silence for «Demi», as the striker was known.

As we reported, the AFE had asked to postpone the entire round. The most viable date under discussion was 22 and 23 December, though it still needs the union's agreement.
