Andorra Keeper Owono Considers Retirement After Tenerife Striker's Death

Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono is reportedly considering retiring from professional football, according to Mundo Deportivo, after being left deeply traumatised by the death of Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel.

The two players were involved in an on-field collision on November 2. De Miguel, 30, was taken to hospital but died the following morning. His death has shaken the football community, and the focus has now turned to the goalkeeper and how he can recover from what he witnessed.

Owono is receiving psychological support from his club as he tries to process the tragedy. The report says he is still struggling to come to terms with what happened, and no decision about his future has been announced by the player or the club.

The case is a stark reminder of the mental toll that fatal incidents can take on those directly involved, not only on the families and clubs of the players who die. Support of this kind is increasingly seen as essential, rather than optional, in the aftermath of such events.
