I was looking forward to seeing him in the Premier league playing for us. And for something like this to happen it's very sad, I'm hoping for good news but with it being nearly 24hrs since it disappeared its looking very unlikely. Let's just pray :(

Guernsey Police have confirmed they have called off the search for the passengers on board the aircraft that went missing over the English Channel on Monday night, including Cardiff striker Emiliano Sala.

They say chances of survival are "unfortunately slim".


"During the course of the 15-hour search, which used multiple air and sea assets from the Channel Islands, UK and France, a number of floating objects have been seen in the water," they tweeted.

"We have been unable to confirm whether any of these are from the missing aircraft.

"We have found no signs of those on board. If they did land on the water, the chances of survival are at this stage, unfortunately, slim.

"Search and rescue operations have been suspended as the sun has now set. The current plan is for it to resume at sunrise tomorrow. There will be no further updates tonight."
