  "account": "Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho expressed shock over the death of Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel, who passed away following a severe on-field collision during a Spanish second division match. The 30-year-old De Miguel was rushed to intensive care on Monday but succumbed to his injuries the following day. The collision occurred when FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono charged into the middle of the pitch to clear the ball and collided with De Miguel. The match was halted as a result of the incident.\n\nMourinho addressed the tragic event, stating that it was \"shocking\" not just for football in general, but particularly for those who compete on the pitch daily. He held a minute's silence for De Miguel before training that day and extended his condolences to the player's family and friends, as well as to FC Andorra goalkeeper Owono, who had also been involved in the incident.\n\nThe Real Madrid coach also revealed that winger Vinicius Junior would start the upcoming Champions League match against AEK Athens, despite a four-match domestic ban. Other players like Yan Diomande, Brahim Diaz, Arda Guler, and Endrick are vying for playing time in the team's attacking lineup, which includes France superstar Kylian Mbappe and England's Jude Bellingham. Mourinho emphasized that having a large number of talented players was not a problem for him; rather, the issue lies in having a shortage of options.",
  "summary": "Jose Mourinho also felt the tragic death must have been very difficult for FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono, who was involved in the incident.",
