Striker Oumar Niasse, who joined the Bluebirds on-loan from Everton until the end of the season has posted a heartbreaking message to his would-be team-mate. In a moving post Niasse wrote: "I would have loved to share the pitch with you and score a lot of goals together for Cardiff but God has decided in another way. "What a duo we could have formed? A question in which we won’t ever be able to answer!  "I will do my best to score many goals for you and the club. RIP." The family of 28-year-old Sala are devastated at his loss with the player having been poised to fulfil his dream to play in the Premier League. Everton predicted line-up against Watford - Richarlison returns but Sigurdsson misses out  Cardiff City travel to Southampton on Saturday, Neil Warnock's side will be eager to win three points in tribute to Sala.
