The Ghanaian Football Association says Christian Atsu has been rescued from the wreckage of the Turkish earthquake which left him and Hatayspor sporting director Taner Savut trapped under rubble.
A 7.5 magnitude earthquake happened on Monday morning after Atsu had scored a winner for the Turkish Super Lig club against Kasimpasa. His club's vice-president Mustafa Özat told Turkish radio that the winger had been rescued but that Savut was still trapped.
Atsu, who has made 65 appearances for Ghana, is being treated for injuries with Hatay being very close to the epicentre of the earthquake and one of the worst affected areas. Over 4,800 people are reported to have been killed so far, with a huge emergency operation in place.
