Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono was suspended for 12 matches by the Spanish Football Federation's disciplinary committee, ten days after the death of Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel. De Miguel died a day after a frontal collision with Owono during a match on November 2. The committee ruled that the goalkeeper used 'excessive force'. Owono issued a statement expressing deep regret. Spanish police have opened an investigation on suspicion of negligent homicide, but prosecutors noted that criminal charges are unlikely. Andorra's coach said Owono is deeply affected and the club will give him space to decide when to return. The goalkeeper was not called up to his national team, Equatorial Guinea. His professional future is uncertain.
