Footballer Christian Atsu has been found alive after this weekend’s devastating earthquake in Turkey and has been transferred to hospital after being pulled from the rubble.
The 31-year-old, who played for both Chelsea and Newcastle during his time in the Premier League, was caught up in the 7.7 magnitude earthquake which occurred on Monday.
Hatayspor manager Mustafa Ozat: "Christian Atsu was removed from the wreckage with injuries. Unfortunately, our sporting director Taner Savut is still under the rubble. Hatay was deeply affected. We are coming towards the end of the most dangerous hours."
