AS: Granada vs. Tenerife postponed due to death of Jesús de Miguel

According to AS, the Granada CF vs. Tenerife match has been postponed following the death of Jesús de Miguel.

Granada CF announced on Wednesday that their LaLiga SmartBank Matchday 13 fixture against Tenerife, originally scheduled for Saturday, November 7, at the Nuevo Los Cármenes stadium, has been postponed due to the death of Tenerife player Jesús de Miguel. The match was due to kick off at 9 PM this Saturday, but a memorial service for Jesús de Miguel will be held at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium on that day.

A new date for the match has yet to be confirmed. The Canary Islands club had previously asked LaLiga and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) for a postponement so that the entire squad could say goodbye to their teammate. The forward's funeral will be held this Thursday in Navahermosa (Toledo), where his family is from and where he will be laid to rest.

Tenerife's majority shareholder, Reco García, explained that the players were not in a state to play the match and thanked the RFEF, LaLiga, and Granada CF for their understanding. He added that the players hope to return to league action on Sunday the 14th, when they host Ceuta at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium on Matchday 14. For its part, Granada CF said: "Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Jesús de Miguel, as well as to the entire Tenerife club family. We send all our strength and support during this difficult time."
