LONDON—A body retrieved from the wreckage of a crashed plane in the English Channel has been formally identified as Cardiff City’s Argentina-born soccer player Emiliano Sala, British police said in a statement on Thursday, Feb. 7.
Sala, 28, had been flying from his previous club Nantes in western France to Wales on Jan. 21, to make his debut for the Premier League team when the single-engined Piper Malibu aircraft disappeared over the sea.
