(Security): Christian Atsu found Alive after being Trapped in Turkey Earthquake which Currently Killed 5,000

Former Newcastle winger Christian Atsu and Black Star player has been found alive after being buried under rubble in the earthquake that hit Turkey.

The 31-year-old Ghana international, now playing for Turkish Super Lig side Hatayspor, was said to be missing after team-mates and members of the club's technical staff had reportedly been pulled from the rubble.

More than 5,000 people have been killed so far after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit south-eastern Turkey and northern Syria during the early hours of Monday morning, February 7, 2023, followed by a second of 7.5.

Hatayspor vice president Mustafa Ozat provided a positive update on Atsu, but the club's sporting director Taner Savut remains in the collapsed building.

"Christian Atsu was removed from the wreckage with injuries," Ozat told Turkish radio station, Radyo Gol.

"Unfortunately, our sporting director Taner Savut is still under the rubble."

Ghanaians who have been praying for their brother are over-joy about the good news and wish him speedy recovery from the injuries he sustained.
