An unfortunate report coming from credible sources indicates that former Ghanaian international Christian Atsu is buried by debris as a result of an earthquake in Turkey.
On Monday, an earthquake of a 7.8 magnitude shook parts of Turkey and Syria, wreaking havoc all throughout the two nations, the reports add.
According to writer Yaz Sabuncuolu and numerous other Turkish media sites, while Atsu and club sporting director Taner Savut are still missing, some Hatayspor players have been rescued as a result of the earthquake.
