Cardiff and EPL to pay tribute to Sala
LONDON • Cardiff will pay tribute to their missing forward Emiliano Sala before their Premier League clash at Arsenal on Tuesday, the Welsh club's chief executive Ken Choo said.
Sala, who was signed from Nantes last Saturday for a club-record fee of £15 million (S$26.6 million), was on board a plane which disappeared over the English Channel on Monday night.
Rescuers have since ended their search, but Choo confirmed the club would be remembering him at their next two games, while the Premier League also said there would be a moment of silence during all matches next week.
