Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel is currently in intensive care after suffering a cardiac arrest in the aftermath of a horrific on-field collision with Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono.

In the final stages of Monday's game at the Estadio Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez, De Miguel was struck in the chest by Owono, who came rushing out of his area to clear a long ball.

The 30-year-old lay motionless in the centre circle as medical staff rushed to his aid. Several players were visibly distressed, with some reduced to tears as he received treatment on the pitch.

The referee showed Owono a red card before abandoning the Spanish second-tier clash.

De Miguel, meanwhile, was rushed to a local hospital, but his condition took a worrying turn when he suffered a cardiac arrest in the ambulance, according to Marca. Paramedics successfully resuscitated him during the journey.

A statement from Tenerife on Monday afternoon said De Miguel was admitted to the University Hospital of Nuestra Senora de Candelaria and was "stable despite the severity of his condition".

Several hours later, at 3:56am on Tuesday morning, the club confirmed in another statement that his medical condition has "worsened neurologically", adding: "More information in the coming hours."
