(Reuters) - Emotions will run high when Nantes take on Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 on Wednesday in what will be their first game since former team mate Emiliano Sala went missing, but the Canaries will focus on the job, coach Vahid Halilhodzic said on Monday.

Argentine striker Sala, who had just joined Cardiff City from Nantes, has been missing since the plane he was travelling in disappeared over the English Channel last Monday.
