Spanish side Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Ovono is still enduring a profound psychological crisis following the fatal on-field collision that claimed the life of Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel.

Details: According to respected Spanish outlet Marca, the 25-year-old goalkeeper rarely leaves his home and has yet to resume training with the team. The club is providing the player with every possible form of support: professional psychologists and club doctors are working with Ovono on an ongoing basis to help him cope with the devastating emotional shock.

Following de Miguel’s tragic death, the goalkeeper reached out to the late striker’s family with a heartfelt request to meet in person, offer his condolences and share in their grief. However, the family is not yet ready for that conversation and has asked for a little more time to come to terms with the first weeks of their irreparable loss.

It is worth noting that Spanish investigators have since cleared Jesús Ovono of suspicion of intentionally causing harm, ruling that the incident in the Segunda match was a tragic accident during play. However, the player still faces a lengthy sporting ban.
