A plane carrying the new Cardiff signature, Sala, and his pilot David Ibbotson, disappeared Monday night in the English Channel.
The staff and supporters of the Premier League club were wearing yellow daffodils at Arsenal when the team returned to play Tuesday night with regards to Sala, whose family saw a target of 300,000 euros (259 £ 000) reached Sunday to help finance a new search around the Channel Islands.

Dan Roan, a BBC journalist, tweeted: "The Air Accident Investigation Directorate reports that French counterparts have found some of the seat cushion on Surtainville Beach in the Cotentin Peninsula.
"A second cushion was found in the same area and they concluded that it is" probable "that they came from missing aircraft that were carrying Emiliano Sala."
Cardiff boss Neil Warnock said yesterday that he was proud of his players' performance to honor Sala despite a 2-1 defeat at Arsenal.

However, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's penalty in the second half and Alexandre Lacazette's single-handed strike allowed Arsenal to tie for points with Chelsea, fourth, with a goal stop from Nathaniel Mendez-Laing.
"We talked about it before the kickoff: for Emiliano, we should try to play a performance," Warnock said.
"I know we lost a football game, but there are other more important things.
"I can not explain how it happened this week, you do not really want to get out of bed, because you know what will happen.
"Everything was really miserable, nobody could do anything about it."
"Under the circumstances, we only worked for 24 hours, the system and everything else.
"They could not have given me more, I'm proud to be their manager."
Two days after the transfer of Sala to Cardiff under a £ 15 million contract with Nantes, the plane Piper PA-46 Malibu carrying the Argentine and Ibbotson disappeared through the Channel.
An official search was canceled last Thursday and funds were raised to conduct a private exploration.
The tributes at the Emirates Stadium included a daffodil named Sala in Cardiff's list of players at the program of the day, the mascot of the Bluebirds, Daffyd, dressed in a shirt with the name of the Attacker and many fan banners.

Unai Emery, director of Arsenal, said: "Last week, I thought we could not play, but the situation continues.
"Continue to find Emiliano Sala, continue the competition and it's a very emotional match."
Warnock added that his plan was to try to add defensive reinforcements before closing the transfer window on Thursday.
He added: "I do not think we will do anything about the attackers, we took two months in Emiliano.
"I do not see anyone right now who can give us, with all the rules and regulations, it's better than what we have."
"We always try to bring one or two defensive players."
