Ghana international Christian Atsu has reportedly been trapped under rubble after a 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit Turkey and Syria on Monday.
The 31-year-old, who previously had spells with Newcastle United, Everton and Porto, has been playing for Hatayspor in the Turkish Super Lig since joining the club last September.
Atsu was the hero for ‘The Star of the South’ on Sunday, coming off the substitutes’ bench to score a 97th-minute goal in a 1-0 win over Kasimpasa.
Newcastle United, where Atsu spent five years, tweeted on Monday: “Praying for some positive news, @ChristianAtsu20”.
