FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono has received a 12-match suspension from the Spanish football federation's disciplinary committee over a challenge that led to the death of Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel. Owono, 25, was sent off for colliding with De Miguel late in a second-tier match on 2 November. De Miguel died the following day, aged 30.
The committee said the sanction was based on the referee's report, describing the challenge as violently striking an opponent in the chest with excessive force while the ball was in play. The federation also ruled the abandoned match will not be replayed, leaving the 2-2 scoreline standing.
Manager Carles Manso said on Thursday that Owono has yet to decide whether to return.
