Oyono: I Am Living Through the Hardest Days of My Life

Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Oyono broke his silence yesterday, stating that he is living through the “most difficult days” of his life, following the death of Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel, who had collided violently with him during a Spanish Segunda División match. In a statement published by his club Andorra, Oyono said: “These are the most difficult days of my life. I find it hard to find the words, and it is very difficult for me to comprehend what happened. I feel immense pain over Jesus’s passing. I am thinking of him, his family, and all the people who loved him.” He added: “I know there will be many things to deal with, and I will face whatever comes with the utmost respect. But for now, frankly, I can think of nothing but Jesus and the pain we are enduring. Rest in peace, Jesus.” Spanish police sources told Agence France-Presse that an investigation into the incident has been opened under judicial supervision, without clarifying whether the probe directly targets Oyono. According to the Spanish press, Oyono could face severe sporting sanctions and may also face criminal charges of “involuntary manslaughter due to negligence.”
