CD Tenerife's Spanish striker Jesus de Miguel will be laid to rest on Thursday, with the club planning a memorial service at the Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez Stadium on Saturday, following his death from a cardiac arrest suffered during a match against Andorra.

De Miguel collapsed after a collision with Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono during the match. He was rushed to hospital but could not be saved. Supporters gathered at Gate 9 of the stadium to pay tribute earlier today.

The club announced the funeral arrangements and the Saturday memorial, which is expected to draw a large crowd of fans and teammates.
