Romina Sala, who is sister to the missing footballer, shared the picture with the caption:

‘Nala is waiting for you too…’.

Below are pictures of Emiliano Sala’s dog, before his master went missing, and now as it looks in hope for his return.

Emiliano Sala and Pilot David Ibbotson have been missing since their plane went off from English radar. They we’re traveling from Nantes to Cardiff City.

An independent search have found their plane’s wreckage with a body spotted inside.

The coordinator of the search team, David Mearns said he had stayed in regular contact with the Sala family by text message due to language barrier.

‘We are informing them every step of the way what’s going on and they are making it clear to us what their priorities are at all times,’ he said. ‘

‘There’s a much greater chance they will get answers if (the plane is) recovered.’

Mr Mearns continued:

‘I haven’t spoken to them verbally, but they were devastated the last time we were here and frankly the news is worse today. ‘Now their worst fears are confirmed, so I would imagine they would be just as devastated – it’s going to take a long time for them to come to terms with the loss.’
