Spanish footballer Jesús de Miguel died on Tuesday following a medical emergency during CD Tenerife’s match against FC Andorra. The club had earlier reported that his neurological condition had deteriorated.
De Miguel was treated during the match in Tenerife after suffering medical problems following a collision with the FC Andorra goalkeeper. The match was suspended and the player was taken to hospital.
CD Tenerife initially announced that De Miguel was in intensive care and stable, but that his condition remained serious. During the night leading into Tuesday, the club reported that his neurological condition had deteriorated.
The club confirmed his death on Tuesday and expressed its condolences to his family and loved ones. De Miguel was 30 and played as a forward for CD Tenerife, which competes in Spanish professional football.
The reported deterioration in his neurological condition does not in itself explain the precise cause of death.
The event has prompted many reactions in Spain and across international football. FC Andorra had earlier expressed its support for De Miguel, his family and CD Tenerife.
The death is a new development compared with the previously reported suspension of the match. This article is therefore a follow-up, not a repetition of the original report about the medical emergency.
