Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono is "deeply affected" by the death of Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel, a team-mate said on Wednesday, according to BBC Sport. The team-mate also said Owono "would never intentionally hurt anyone," offering a public statement about the goalkeeper's character and his response to the death.

The brief report identifies De Miguel as a Tenerife forward and Owono as an Andorra goalkeeper. It provides no further account of the circumstances surrounding the death, leaving the team-mate's remarks as the central information available in the supplied material rather than a detailed explanation of what happened.

The comments address two separate matters: Owono's emotional state and the team-mate's assessment of his intentions. The description of the goalkeeper as deeply affected is attributed to that team-mate; the extract does not include a direct statement from Owono about De Miguel's death or his own reaction to it.

The assertion that Owono would never deliberately hurt anyone is likewise a personal assessment, not an independently established account of events. While it is the strongest expression in the report, it does not by itself explain why the team-mate was asked to address intent or what prompted that particular response.

That distinction matters because the supplied account places the defence of Owono alongside news of De Miguel's death without describing the connection between them. It would therefore be inappropriate to infer a sequence of events, assign responsibility or draw conclusions about the death from the quoted remarks alone.

The material also does not name the team-mate or provide the full question and answer in which the comments were made. Without that additional context, the remarks can be reported as an expression of support for Owono, but they cannot reliably be expanded into a broader account of his position or the circumstances involved.

De Miguel's death remains the central loss behind the comments, while the report focuses on how Owono has been affected and how a colleague views him. The available extract offers no further biographical information about the Tenerife forward, nor does it include a statement from his family or his club.

Further reporting would be needed to establish the circumstances of the death and place Wednesday's comments in their full context. For now, the account supports the narrower conclusion attributed to Owono's team-mate: that the goalkeeper is deeply affected by De Miguel's death and is regarded by that colleague as someone who would not intentionally hurt another person.
