CD Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel's neurological condition has worsened after he suffered a cardiac arrest following a collision with an opposing goalkeeper during a Spanish second-division match against Andorra on Monday.
The Spanish club confirmed the deterioration in an official statement early Tuesday, Nov. 3, adding that further information about the player's condition would be released in the coming hours.
De Miguel was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at the University Hospital of Nuestra Senora de Candelaria after receiving emergency medical treatment following the incident.
In its initial statement, Tenerife said the striker was stable despite the severity of his condition, while medical staff continued to monitor his health.
According to reports from Spanish media, De Miguel's heart stopped following the collision, prompting emergency resuscitation efforts that successfully restored his heartbeat. However, the player remained unconscious and had not been declared out of danger.
The incident occurred during Tenerife's Spanish second-division match against Andorra, when goalkeeper Jesus Owono rushed out to challenge De Miguel for the ball.
Owono struck the Tenerife forward with his knee, causing him to collapse on the pitch. Medical teams immediately stepped in to provide emergency assistance before the injured player was taken to hospital by ambulance.
The referee subsequently abandoned the match, which was tied 2-2 at the time of the incident.
Tenerife's latest statement confirmed that De Miguel's neurological condition had deteriorated, with the club expected to provide further updates as medical teams continue to assess his condition.
