Cardiff chairman Mehmet Dalman insists there are no plans currently to rearrange their match vs Arsenal next week as the search for Emiliano Sala continues after his plane’s disappearance.

The Argentine forward, the club’s record signing for £15m after signing last week, has been missing since Monday evening after his plane disappeared over the English Channel.

The Blue Birds next face the Gunners at the Emirates on Tuesday, 29 January and despite despite the concern from the club, Dalman believes the game will go ahead as planned.

“I would be very surprised if there’s any change to the schedule,” Dalman said.

Dalman also added that the club did not arrange Sala’s flight, but remains resolute in discovering all the facts.

“We will not leave a single stone unturned until we have all the facts,” Dalman, who is currently in France, told BBC Radio Wales

He confirmed Sala "made his own arrangements” to return to Wales after a brief trip back to Nantes to say goodbye to his former team-mates.

"The reaction we've had from the football world - and outside the football world - has been really overwhelming," Dalman added.
