Police investigating the death of former Arsenal academy player Billy Vigar, who died from a significant brain injury in September 2025, are expected to need two to three more months, a coroner's court heard. Vigar collided with a concrete wall around a pitch while playing for Chichester City at Wingate and Finchley five days before his death. Separately, FC Andorra manager Carles Manso said goalkeeper Jesus Owono has not decided whether to return to football after Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel died. Owono was sent off after colliding with De Miguel in a Spanish second division match on 2 November, and De Miguel died the following day in hospital. At a pre-inquest review hearing at Barnet Coroner's Court, Vigar's parents, Keith and Camilla, said the FA could have prevented his death because it had received many warnings, and questioned why Barnet Council, as local authority, investigated the club. The police officer did not give details of the lines of enquiry. A further hearing is set for 10 February. Manso said Owono, 25, is with his family and is free to decide whether, when or if he returns. A crowdfunding page for De Miguel's relatives has passed £170,000.
