He\u2019d been trapped in the rubble of an earthquake that killed more than 4,800 people in Turkey and neighbouring Syria.<\/p>\n

The former Newcastle midfielder, joined Turkish Super Lig side Hatayspor last September.<\/p>\n

The club is based in the southern province of Hatay near the epicentre of Monday’s massive quake.<\/p>\n

No further details on Atsu\u2019s condition was given.<\/p>\n

The Ghana football association continues with authorities and NGOs to know the whereabouts of Ghanaian football players in Turkey.<\/p>\n

Throughout the years, the country located in southeastern Europe and Western Asia became a hotspot for African players.<\/p>\n

Dozens of nations have offered aid since the 7.8-magnitude quake struck. Freezing weather has hampered emergency efforts.<\/p>\n

Up to 23 million people could be affected by the massive earthquake, the World Health Organization warned Tuesday.<\/p>\n
