Cardiff boss Warnock welcomes distraction from 'traumatic week'

With Emiliano Sala still missing, Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock hopes a match with Arsenal can provide a much-needed distraction.

Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock says the disappearance of Emiliano Sala has led him to consider his future in football, although he welcomes the distraction of a trip to Arsenal.

Nantes forward Sala completed a club-record transfer to Cardiff before the plane he was aboard went missing en route to the Welsh capital from France last week.

The search for Sala was ended by Guernsey Police on Thursday - although the 28-year-old's family are determined to resume the operation - and Cardiff are now set to play for the first time since the incident on Tuesday.
