Emiliano Sala’s body transferred to Argentina

The body of Argentine forward Emiliano Sala has been transferred to Argentina’s capital city of Buenos Aires and from where—to his hometown of Progreso, Ovación reported.

The funeral of the footballer will be held Saturday.

The small plane carrying Emiliano Sala had disappeared from radar as he and the pilot flew over the English Channel on their way from Nantes, France, to the Welsh capital city of Cardiff, on January 21.

The 28-year-old footballer had gone to Wales on board the same plane with which he had returned to France a few days earlier, after signing a deal with Cardiff City.
