Plane with Sala goes missing
Newly signed Cardiff City footballer Emiliano Sala was on board a light aircraft that went missing over the English Channel late on Monday, French police said.
British and French coastguards scoured the seas off the island of Guernsey yesterday for the single-engine plane after it lost radar contact on its way from Nantes to the Welsh capital.
