JUST SO HEART BREAKING “ EMILIANO SALA “

Thoughts are with WHOEVER was on the plane

L'equipe and BBC are both reporting there's concern he was on the plane? Have you heard news otherwise?

They surely know by now, really sounds ominous.

First of all thought are with whoever was on board.

It's disconcerting that there has not been anything from Cardiff/Nantes/the player/agent to allay any fears that Sala may have been on board.

The longer that goes on the worse those fears become.

It's too much of a coincidence I'm afraid.
I would imagine that CCFC have phone numbers, and surely they would have made contact with someone.
Plane manifests would be the first check .

well now saying on wales online its understood sala was on the plane

Sky news just said was flying last night,OMG so sad .

The aircraft departed Nantes at 1915 for Cardiff. The aircraft was flying at 5000 feet. The aircraft on passing Guernsey requested descent. Jersey ATC lost contact whilst it was flying at 2300 feet

Cardiff City have told Sky News they are seeking clarification over reports that footballer Emiliano Sala was on a light aircraft that disappeared from radar in the English Channel last night.

Air Traffic Control have confirmed the aircraft was travelling from Nantes in western France to Cardiff when it went missing.
A journalist from Ouest France tweeted to say Sala had been on the plane - but there has been no confirmation.

Concerns were raised when the 28-year-old Cardiff forward failed to respond to messages on social media.

The Argentinian made club history when he was bought for a record fee on a three-and-a-half year deal from Nantes during the January transfer window.

It is believed he was travelling on Monday to the UK.
