Emiliano Sala's body was repatriated to Argentina on Friday on a British Airways flight. Thousands are currently paying
their last respects to the Cardiff City striker at a vigil in the sports hall
of his boyhood football club San Martin, in Progreso.
Progreso mayor Julio Muller yesterday
night confirmed that Sala's body would be transported to Santa Fe - an hour's
drive south after the eight-and-a-half-long wake ends, so it can be cremated.
Mr Muller said: 'If all goes to plan, people will be able to pay their
last respects to Emi today from 7am local time to about 3.30pm.
'At 2pm there will be a religious
ceremony in the same sports hall where the wake is taking place.
'At 3.30 the family took the decision
to cremate Emi's body so it will be returning to the crematorium in the city of
Santa Fe.'
There
are speculations that Sala's remains would be buried in Progreso but the family
hasn't made an official disclosure of the venue as yet.
