Christian Atsu’s manager is desperate with no news of the player who Hatayspor said was pulled alive from the rubble after a massive earthquake rocked southern Turkey and Syria early Monday morning.
count Sun that the former Porto player was in a 9-story building in Hatay when an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale devastated the region.
Several teammates of the Ghanaian midfielder were rescued from their homes, but Atsu and the club’s sporting director Taner Savut still hadn’t found their whereabouts when a second earthquake hit the region mid-afternoon on Monday.
The player was rescued alive yesterday, but his manager Nana Sechere told Ghana’s Happy FM radio that he was unable to talk to Atsu. “To give you an idea, Hatay is a very small town and almost no one speaks English. At the moment it is destroyed and is in a state of emergency. This means that hospitals are overflowing with people, injured, dying. Atsu is in the hospital and cannot be contacted,” the agent explained.
Nana Sechere also stressed that the earthquake had destroyed city communications. “On top of all this, the telephone lines have died, so few people can contact the members of the club.”
