Jesus Owono considers retiring after Jesus de Miguel's death

The FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono (25) is going through one of the hardest moments of his life. According to Mundo Deportivo, he is considering ending his career after the death of Jesus de Miguel, the Tenerife striker he collided with violently in last Monday's Segunda match. De Miguel was resuscitated after a cardiorespiratory arrest and died the following morning.

Ana Maye, a person the goalkeeper has trusted since he was 14 and general coordinator of the Equatorial Guinea men's national team, says Owono is very upset, especially thinking about De Miguel's one-and-a-half-year-old son and his widow. The club has arranged psychological support to help him understand that what happened was an accident.

His family is also suffering: his younger brother, who plays in the Basque Country, reportedly was confronted and insulted, and his sister, a university student in Valencia, has faced the same treatment. His parents, who live in the Basque Country, have journalists regularly outside their home, and his mother reportedly travelled to Andorra to support him.

FC Andorra is working on his recovery, which according to the club goes far beyond sport. Owono also faces a sanction for the challenge that got him sent off: it will be decided this week and could bring a suspension of up to 12 matches.
