Atsu, who joined Turkish topflight outfit Hatayspor in September 2022, is among several members of the club who are yet to be rescued, including the side's sporting director, Taner Savut.

We hope that we will get through this disaster together as soon as possible and with the least damage, and we continue our work."Rescue efforts are still on going and Atsu's safety remains unconfirmed. The 31-year-old has featured for several sides in England including, Everton and Bournemouth, while he was also notably contract to Chelsea between 2013 and 2017.
