Football, Fabregas: “Saddened by De Miguel’s death, my thoughts are with his family”

Milan, 3 Nov. (LaPresse) – “In a sport as wonderful as football, it’s hard to recover from things like this; my thoughts are very much with his mum and dad. Just the thought that something like this could happen – that a life can end in a second – is absolutely heartbreaking. I cannot imagine the pain felt by his family, the club and his teammates.” These were the words of Como manager Cesc Fabregas, speaking to Sky Sport on the eve of their Champions League match against Lens, as he commented on the tragic death of Tenerife footballer Jesús De Miguel, who suffered a cardiac arrest following a challenge with Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono.
