FC Andorra manager Carles Manso says goalkeeper Jesus Owono has yet to decide whether he will return to football following the death of Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel. Owono was sent off after colliding with De Miguel during a Spanish second division match on 2 November, and the Tenerife forward died in hospital the following day.

Manso said the 25-year-old is spending time with his family, friends and partner and is "completely free to make any decision" about a possible return. "What we have to do is support him in every way and be close to him," he said. "We will give him space so that he feels completely free to make any decision, whether he wants to return, when, or if he does not want to return." Manso described the aftermath of the tragedy as a "very complicated situation to manage", adding that Owono would act only when he feels genuinely ready.S1S2

Andorra released a statement on Owono's behalf on 4 November, in which the Equatorial Guinea keeper said he was experiencing "the most difficult days of my life" and described feeling "enormous pain over the loss of Jesus". Owono has 47 caps for Equatorial Guinea but was not called up for his country's doubleheader with Zimbabwe during the current international break.S1S2

Tributes were paid over the weekend at Tenerife's Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez, where thousands of fans gathered beneath a banner reading "Forever Demi" and chanted "De Miguel, we love you". Players sat alongside representatives from all clubs in Spain's top two divisions, including Real Madrid director Emilio Butragueno, as Tenerife captain Enric Gallego said it was "tremendously unfair" to speak of De Miguel in the past tense.S2

Andorra return to action on Saturday, travelling to Almeria in the Spanish second division for their first fixture since De Miguel's death.S1S2
