Sala, 28, had been en route from Nantes in western France on Jan 21 to make his debut for Premier League team Cardiff City when the plane disappeared over the English Channel. A body was visible inside when the wreckage was on the seabed near Guernsey, air accident investigators had said on Monday. The body was "successfully recovered" but attempts to recover the aircraft wreckage were unsuccessful, the AAIB said in a statement on Wednesday. Sala had agreed to join Welsh club Cardiff for a club-record fee of 15 million pounds ($19.63 million) from French Ligue 1 club Nantes. In the 28th minute, a round of applause swelled around the stadium as fans sang Sala's name.
