- Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel has died at the age of 30 after suffering a cardiac arrest following an accidental stoppage-time collision with Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono during a Spanish second division match on Monday.
- Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono, who was sent off after striking De Miguel in the chest while attempting to clear the ball, expressed his “enormous pain” and stated he is living through “the most difficult days of my life”.
- Spanish police have opened a routine judicial inquiry into possible involuntary manslaughter due to legal requirements for non-natural deaths, although criminal proceedings are considered unlikely.
- Tenerife has announced six days of mourning and scheduled a memorial service at the Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez stadium on Saturday evening to allow supporters to pay their respects to the forward.
- Tributes have flooded in from across global football, with Uefa confirming a minute's silence before all European fixtures this week and players including Barcelona's Raphinha offering condolences to De Miguel's family.
