There is positive news surrounding former Premier League footballer Christian Atsu, who has been “successfully rescued” from under the rubble of a collapsed building and is now recovering in hospital following an earthquake in southern Turkey.
The football world was anxiously awaiting updates on Monday after the 31-year-old former Ghana international was reported missing. Atsu now plays with Turkish Super Lig side Hatayspor and the country’s border region was hit by the 7.8 magnitude quake that brought down thousands of buildings, killing some 5,000 people, in several Turkish and Syrian cities on Monday.
