De Miguel is being treated at the Nuestra Senora de Candelaria University Hospital. Tenerife issued an update on Tuesday morning through their official channels, warning that his condition had worsened.
“Jesus de Miguel’s neurological condition has deteriorated,” the club said.
Tenerife added that it would provide further information in the coming hours.
