Christian Atsu, a former Black Stars winger, is reportedly missing after a significant earthquake struck Turkey earlier today.
Tanur Savut, a player and club director for Hatayspor, has reportedly been buried beneath the debris, per sources from Eurofootcom.
Some of his teammates have been saved thanks to search efforts, but Atsu and Savut, according to the report, have not been located.
Rescue workers are frantically trying to find survivors from beneath the rubble after a terrible earthquake tore through Turkey and Syria, leaving devastation and debris on both sides of the border and killing more than 1,500 people.
Around 4 a.m. on Monday, one of the largest earthquakes to hit the area in a century jolted locals out of their beds and sent tremors as far as Lebanon and Israel.
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the 7.8-magnitude earthquake’s epicenter was 24.1 kilometers (14.9 miles) beneath the surface, 23 kilometers (14.2 miles) east of Nurdagi in Turkey’s Gaziantep region.
Last night in the Turkish league, Christian Atsu scored the game-winning goal for Hatayspor off the bench.
