Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel died after suffering a serious injury during a Spanish second division match.
De Miguel, 30, suffered head and chest injuries during a match against FC Andorra, on Monday, in a strong collision with goalkeeper Jesús Owono, who was sent off after that incident.
The footballer's condition was described as "stable but serious" on Monday, but his health worsened on Tuesday morning.
"Broken with pain, with a lump in my throat and unable to believe that this is true, from CD Tenerife we announce the tragic death, this Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 8:00 a.m., of Jesús de Miguel Alameda," his club said in a statement.
"There are no words of consolation; there is absolutely nothing that mitigates this feeling full of sadness. We are with his devastated family, with his loved ones, with all the people of Tenerife who cry today for this cruel outcome."
