Interesting one.
Sala was likely under ‘commercial pressure’ too. He was due in Cardiff for his first training session on a multi million pound deal. It’s reasonable to assume he wouldn’t want to let down everyone in the football side of the chain, particularly as the trip was a private one to say goodbye to previous Nantes players, rather than part of the commercial deal.

If he knew might he have thought ok it’s a bit poor, but it got me here ok and it’s only two hours and I need to be in Cardiff early tomorrow morning. Would the man on the street roll the dice as flying is so safe?
