In the morning, the club announced: "Jesús de Miguel's medical condition has deteriorated neurologically." Further information will follow in the coming hours.

De Miguel collided with opposing goalkeeper Jesus Owono shortly behind the halfway line in the 7th minute of stoppage time in the league game against FC Andorra on Monday. Owono hit de Miguel in the torso and head. The goalkeeper immediately saw a red card for the excessively hard action. Teammates and opponents immediately rushed to de Miguel. The players of both teams appeared shaken by the sight of the injured player, and some professionals were said to have tears in their eyes. Referee Manuel Perez stopped the game when the score was 2-2.
