Authorities have confirmed that the search for the missing plane flying Emiliano Sala to Cardiff has been called to an end.
The aircraft carrying the striker from Nantes disappeared on Monday, losing contact with air traffic control near Casquets lighthouse – around eight miles north west of Guernsey in the English Channel.
The search reconvened on Thursday morning, but was called off in the early afternoon after officials felt they had exhausted their options.
