Owono: ‘I feel immense pain over the loss of Jesús’

FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono was suspended for 12 matches by the Spanish football federation’s disciplinary committee on Friday after his challenge on Jesús de Miguel resulted in the death of the Tenerife striker last week.

Owono, an Equatorial Guinea international, was sent off in the second division match on 2 November after racing into midfield and colliding with De Miguel while trying to clear an aerial ball. After the collision De Miguel, 30, was placed in intensive care in hospital and the Spanish forward died on 3 November.
