Hatayspor winger, Christian Atsu, has been rescued alive from the rubble of the earthquake that hit Turkey.
Atsu was reported missing in Turkey’s Hatay province following the 7.8 magnitude quake that brought down thousands of building and killed over 5,000 people in several Turkish and Syrian cities on Monday.
“Christian Atsu was pulled out injured. Our sporting director, Taner Savut, is unfortunately still under the rubble,” club vice president Mustafa Ozat told Radyo Gol.
Ozat told BeIN Sports on Monday several players and officials had been rescued from the rubble.
Ghana’s Football Association (GFA) said Atsu has been found alive in a Twitter post that read: “Update: We’ve received some positive news that Christian Atsu has been successfully rescued from the rubble of the collapsed building and is receiving treatment.
“Let’s continue to pray for Christian.”
Atsu was receiving treatment but the GFA did not give details of any injuries.
