According to L'Équipe, the hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in the Emiliano Sala transfer case between Nantes and Cardiff has been set for March 3 and 4.

The two teams are locked in a court battle over the late Argentinian striker's €17 million transfer price for the 2019 season. Sala's plane crashed over the English Channel on his way to Cardiff, and neither he nor the pilot, David Ibbotson, survived.

In Cardiff, the trial of David Henderson, the man accused of organizing the trip, began this week. The first witnesses, Fay Keely, the plane's owner, and David Smith, the mechanic in charge of the plane's upkeep between December 2015 and November 2018, were scheduled to testify today.
