The body is being driven to Progreso, around 538km (334 miles) northwest of the capital Buenos Aires, for a vigil and wake. Sala, 28, had been flying from his previous club Nantes in western France to Wales on 21 January to join up with Cardiff City when the single-engined Piper Malibu aircraft disappeared over the English Channel. Wreckage was found on 3 February following a privately-funded underwater search and a body was recovered three days later. Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock and chief executive Ken Choo are among those who will attend the funeral.
