Owono handed 12-match ban after challenge on De Miguel

FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono has been reported as receiving a 12-match suspension over the collision in which Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel was fatally injured, but the final disciplinary decision remains unconfirmed.

Update

FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono has been suspended for 12 matches by the Spanish Football Federation’s disciplinary committee over the challenge on Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel, who died the day after the incident, according to Cadena SER.

The decision classifies the offence as serious under Article 102 of the federation’s disciplinary code and also imposes fines under Article 52. The committee’s ruling, as quoted by Cadena SER, names Owono by his full name, Jesús Lázaro Ferrer Owono.

Owono was sent off after colliding with De Miguel during a second-tier match on 2 November. The game was stopped late in stoppage time, with the teams level at 2-2. The federation later ruled that the match would end at that score rather than be replayed.

FC Andorra manager Carles Manso said on Thursday that Owono was spending time with his family and had not decided whether to return to football. Manso said the club would give him space to make that decision.
