Ghanaian footballer Christian Atsu is unfortunately still missing after the devastating earthquake in Turkey. The agent of the 31-year-old Hatayspor midfielder informed about it on Twitter.
Atsu has been missing since Monday’s earthquake, which also hit Syria and has so far claimed over 11,000 lives. The club subsequently said the former Newcastle player had been pulled from the wreckage and taken to hospital.
However, this was denied today by the agent of the Ghana international, Nana Sechere. “You can imagine how devastating this is for his family. We are doing everything we can to find him,” he wrote on Twitter.
The director of Hatayspor Volkan Demirel also added the confirmation. “We still don’t know where he could be. We don’t know anything at all. And it’s not a case of them taking him somewhere else. They haven’t released him yet,” Reuters quoted him as saying.
Atsu came to Hatayspor last September. Before that, he started for Porto, from where he headed to Chelsea, but he did not play for them and had guest appearances in Arnhem, Everton or Malaga. He made his debut with Ghana at the 2014 World Cup.
