The Hatayspor update said the bodies of the former Newcastle United, Chelsea and Everton players had now been found and returned to their homeland in Ghana.
"The body of our player Christian Atsu, who lost his life under the rubble, is on his way to be sent to his hometown (in) Ghana," Hatayspor said in a statement on their Instagram account.
"We will not erase you, Atsu. There are no words to describe our sadness. Rest in peace, Atsu," the statement continued.
