Minute's silence for Sala across Europe

UEFA has confirmed that a minute's silence will be observed at all Champions League and Europa League matches this week in memory of Emiliano Sala.

UEFA says a one-minute silence to honour Emiliano Sala will be held before all Champions League and Europa League games this week.

Clubs can also choose to wear black armbands as a tribute to the 28-year-old Argentine forward, who died in a plane crash in the English Channel last month.

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin says he urges "supporters across the continent to pay their respects to his memory over the coming days."

Sala was in a single-engine aircraft flying from Nantes in France to start his new career with Premier League club Cardiff.

His body was recovered from the wreckage last week but pilot David Ibbotson is still missing.
