FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono has been suspended for 12 matches by the Spanish Football Federation's disciplinary committee following the death of Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel, who succumbed to injuries sustained in a collision with the goalkeeper during a second-division match earlier this month.

Basis for the sanction

The disciplinary committee stated that its decision was based on "information explicitly mentioned in the referee's report." The report noted that Owono had applied "excessive force against the opponent player's chest during play." This report served as the primary foundation for the suspension.

Goalkeeper's mental state

The 25-year-old goalkeeper has been unable to forgive himself following the unintentional tragedy. He has not played any match since the incident. Andorra coach Carles Manso has expressed doubt about whether Owono will ever return to football.

Next steps

The 12-match ban has raised fresh questions about Owono's future in the sport. It remains unclear whether the disciplinary committee's decision is final. The incident has also sparked renewed debate in Spanish football regarding player safety on the field.
