Emiliano Sala's body will be cremated after well-wishers in the Argentinian town where he grew up say their final farewells
Thousands of people are expected to pay their last respects to the new Cardiff City signing at a wake in the sports hall of his boyhood football club San Martin in the small town of Progreso
His body - on Friday on a British Airways flight - was due to be driven to the town early on Saturday morning from its overnight resting place at a funeral home in the provincial capital Santa Fe
Progeso mayor Julio Muller confirmed overnight Emiliano's body would return to the city of Santa Fe an hour's drive south after the eight-and-a-half-long wake finishes so it can be cremated
Read More Mr Muller, referring to the tragic footballer by the shortened name his family and friends call him, said: "If all goes to plan, people will be able to pay their last respects from 7am local time to about 3
30pm. "At 2pm there will be a religious ceremony in the same sports hall where the wake is taking place
"At 3.30pm the family took the decision to cremate Emi's body so it will be returning to the crematorium in the city of Santa Fe
" The final resting place of the 28-year-old's ashes was not made clear, with some local speculation they would be buried in Progreso but no official information to support the claims

Emiliano's body was recovered following a privately-funded search. The body of 59-year-old David Ibbotson, who was piloting the light aircraft that disappeared on January 21, has yet to be found and his family are insisting the search must go on
Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock and chief executive Ken Choo are among those who have flown to Argentina to pay their last respects to Emiliano
Read More Nantes defender Nicolas Pallois and general secretary Loic Morin have also made the journey
San Martin de Progeso, where Emiliano played football until he was 15, posted a tribute on Facebook , saying: "We are waiting for you… like the first day you left but this time to stay with us forever
" His sister Romina, who travelled to Europe along with mum Mercedes after her brother's plane vanished, said in an emotional social media message posted alongside a video collage featuring Emiliano on and off the pitch as a boy and a man: "Tell me this is a nightmare
Emi please return brother. Please. I love you so much." Mirror Football will have a live stream of the proceedings in Progreso - leave your tributes to Emiliano Sala in the comments box below
