Millwall and Everton did not wear black armbands for their FA Cup clash at The Den after Emiliano Sala's family told the FA they didn't want them to.

Sala was on board a single engine plane that went missing on Monday en route to Cardiff after sealing a £15million move from Nantes.

Despite the search being called off on Thursday, Sala has not been officially pronounced dead.

Earlier in the day teams across the country wore black armbands and held silences as marks of respect.

However, players of both Millwall and Everton did not wear the bands and BBC commentator Jonathan Pearce confirmed there had been a request made to the FA by Sala's family because he has not been confirmed dead.

Sala and pilot Dave Ibbotson are both still missing and the emergency services have called off the search.

However, Lionel Messi and a host of other football stars have raised £130k to fund a private search mission.
