Astupie Twasam, the brother of Christian Atsu has confirmed that her brother is safe and sound in a fresh update.
Twasam spoke to crimecheckghana.org authoritatively and provided first-hand information on the safety of the former Chelsea winger following conflicting reports trailing his disappearance in the wake of the devastating earthquake that rocked Turkey.
“I received a call from his agent around 6 am this morning that he has been found and taken to the hospital. We thank God though but I want to hear his voice before I calm down,” she said.
She further revealed that the family was preparing to fly to Turkey to ascertain the condition of the player.
“I am preparing to leave for Turkey. I want to see the extent of the injury he has sustained“ adding that “ these past few hours have not been easy, it has been tears and prayers to God,” she added.
The weekend saw Christian Atsu play for Hatayspor in their win over Kasimpasa in the Turkish top division, with the Ghanaian scoring the lone goal.
She continued, “I saw him scoring in Sunday’s match, so I had planned to congratulate him when I get home but I slept off.“
“Something strange happened when I woke up to use the washroom and I felt heavy in my spirit, so I said in my head that Atsu will not die. A few hours after this, his agent called to tell me about the earthquake,“ she added.
Atsupe allayed concerns about the player’s wife and kids by saying; “The children are here in London, I have spoken to them in a video this morning. They are fine.”
“We are grateful to Ghanaians for their prayers and words of encouragement,“ she added.
On February 6, 2023, an earthquake occurred that resulted in nearly 4,300 fatalities and 15,000 injuries of varying severity. The 31-year-old Black Stars winger signed a one-year contract to play for the Turkish team in September 2022 after spending time in Saudi Arabia.
