Tenerife say Jesus de Miguel’s medical condition has “worsened” after the striker sustained a serious injury during a Spanish second division match.

The 30-year-old suffered head and chest injuries during Monday’s home game against Andorra, after a heavy collision with goalkeeper Jesus Owono, who was sent off for his challenge.

Spanish media, including Marca, external, reported De Miguel had a cardiac arrest in an ambulance and was resuscitated by paramedics on the way to hospital.

An initial statement from Tenerife on Monday said De Miguel was “stable” in hospital, despite the “severity of his condition”.

However, a further update from the club in the early hours of Tuesday morning said the striker’s “medical condition has worsened neurologically” and there would be “more information in the coming hours”.

Tenerife and Andorra were drawing 2-2 seven minutes into stoppage time when the incident occurred.

Owono had run towards the centre circle to clear a long ball when his knee appeared to collide with De Miguel.

De Miguel lay motionless on the pitch as medical staff treated him before he was taken by ambulance from Tenerife’s Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez to hospital.

Players from both teams were visibly distressed by the incident, with a number of De Miguel’s team-mates in tears.

The referee showed Owono a straight red card before abandoning the match.

A statement from Andorra said: “We want to send all our strength and best wishes to Jesus de Miguel after the serious incident suffered during today’s match.

“We hope he recovers soon. A very strong hug to the player, his family and Tenerife.”
