Tenerife boss says Owono's 12-match ban 'feels light'

FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono has been handed a 12-match suspension following a serious foul on CD Tenerife's Jesús de Miguel. According to Yahoo Sports, the Spanish Football Federation’s disciplinary committee stated the ban is the maximum punishment permitted under its rules for the offense. The incident occurred during a 2-2 draw in Spain’s second division on November 2, when Owono's challenge, described by referee Manuel Ángel Pérez Hernández as involving excessive force, led to de Miguel suffering a cardiac arrest. De Miguel, aged 30, was treated on the pitch and died in the hospital the following day.

Yahoo Sports reports that Owono, 25, is receiving medical and psychological support from his club and has expressed deep distress. While the Times of India notes that FC Andorra manager Carles Manso emphasized the importance of supporting Owono, Manso has dismissed reports that the goalkeeper is considering retirement. BBC Sport noted that Tenerife boss Alvaro Cervera reacted to the 12-match ban as the club prepares for its first game since the death of de Miguel.
