Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel dies after match cardiac arrest

Tenerife's match against Andorra on November 2 ended in a medical emergency after forward Jesús de Miguel collided with the visiting goalkeeper near the centre circle. The collision came in stoppage time of the Spanish second division fixture, according to L'Équipe.

RT en Español - Noticias identified the goalkeeper as Jesús Owono and reported that De Miguel was left unconscious. The match was suspended with the score at 2-2, Infobae reported.

On November 2, medical personnel treated De Miguel on the pitch for about 10 minutes before he was taken away by ambulance, according to Fanpage. The outlet reported that he regained consciousness in the ambulance.

ESPN FC reported that De Miguel had suffered a cardiac arrest following the collision and was rushed to hospital. The fixture was abandoned deep into stoppage time, according to the Daily Mail.

Initial hospital reports offered some reassurance without suggesting that the danger had passed. Infobae described De Miguel as stable but in a serious condition, while the Daily Mail reported that Tenerife had confirmed he was stable.

By the early hours of November 3, the medical picture had changed. Tenerife announced that De Miguel's neurological condition had worsened following his emergency admission on Monday, EL PAIS reported. ABC said the deterioration had occurred overnight.

De Miguel remains in hospital, with the latest reports describing neurological deterioration rather than the stability reported immediately after the collision. ABC identified the hospital as Hospital Universitario de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria.

The Tuesday update is the most recent medical development in the supplied coverage. L'Équipe reported that Tenerife announced the worsening neurological condition on Tuesday morning. The supplied reports do not give a prognosis.

The central unanswered question is how De Miguel's neurological condition develops after the overnight deterioration. Further medical information would be needed to clarify his condition and prospects for recovery; the update reported by Infobae does not establish either.
