Owono asks FC Andorra for contact with Jesus de Miguel's family

The 25-year-old goalkeeper Jesús Owono is undergoing psychological treatment and rarely leaves his house since the striker Jesus de Miguel died in a hard collision with him; however, he has expressed the wish to make contact with the deceased’s family.

Contact request after the accident

According to the Spanish newspaper, Owono asked FC Andorra to facilitate contact with the family of the late Jesús de Miguel.

The forward from CD Tenerife died from the effects of the violent collision with Owono.

Both clubs have indeed made contact, but initially rejected the request in order to respect the family’s mourning.

One day after the accident Owono tried to reach the family and even considered traveling to Toledo for the burial, but his surroundings and the club advised against it.

Personal situation and sporting perspective

The goalkeeper currently spends a lot of time at home and remains in psychological treatment.

His mother, partner and teammates support him daily.

Club president Gerard Piqué visits the 25-year-old regularly.

Soon after the accident Owono published an open letter in which he spoke of the “hardest days” of his life.

Coach Carles Manso explained at a press conference on Thursday that Owono has the freedom to decide at any time whether and when he wants to return.

On Saturday FC Andorra will play its first competitive match since the accident against UD Almería.
