A winger for Ghana Christian Atsu, is still being sought after in Turkey. According to reports, the athlete is buried behind debris as a result of the Monday earthquake.
Although some players and members of the technical team have been pulled out of the rubbles, Atsu and Savut have not been seen.
According to Özat, the two persons are still under the rubbles as a search team continuously works on finding them.
“Cristian Atsu and Taner Savut are still under the rubble. We are trying to reach them,” he said as quoted by Turkish journalist Yagiz Saboncouglu.
