Following the death of 28-year-old
striker Emiliano Sala, his body will be repatriated to his home country
Argentina, on Friday, ahead of a vigil at his boyhood club San Martin de
Progreso on Saturday. Sala died in a plane crash in the English Channel, near
Alderney. He was traveling from Nantes to join his new club Cardiff, after a
club-record £15million transfer from Nantes.

Santa Fe.
A report from Ouest France reveals that
that Sala’s former club Nantes will be represented at the funeral by central
defender Nicolas Pallois and general secretary Loic Morin. Pallois was a close
friend of Sala's, and will be missing Nantes' Ligue 1 game at Monaco on
Saturday to attend the funeral.
