FC Andorra coach Carles Manso says goalkeeper Jesus Owono has not yet decided whether he will return to football following the death of Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel.
Owono was sent off after a collision with De Miguel during a Spanish second division match on 2 November. De Miguel died in hospital the following day.
Manso said the 25-year-old goalkeeper is spending time with his family and remains “completely free to make any decision” about a possible return.
“What we have to do is support him in every way and stay close to him,” Manso said.
“We will give him space so that he feels completely free to make any decision, whether he wants to return, when, or if he does not want to return at all.
“When he feels it is appropriate, and when he feels genuinely ready to make a decision like that, he will do so.”
Andorra issued a statement on Owono’s behalf on 4 November, in which the Equatorial Guinea international said he was living through “the most difficult days of my life”.
He added: “I feel enormous pain over the loss of Jesus. I think of him, his family, and everyone who loved him.”
Andorra return to action for the first time since De Miguel’s death on Saturday, when they host Almeria in the Spanish second division.
