JAKARTA - Former Chelsea player, Christian Atsu, has been found and removed from the rubble of the building after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Turkey, Monday, February 6.

Ghana's players survived a natural disaster but are now under medical scrutiny, media reported.

Christian Atsu has been found alive among the rubble of a devastating earthquake in Turkey. However, the player was injured.

This was conveyed by Hatayspor spokesman Mustafa Ozat. He said the player was undergoing medical treatment.

However, other important figures in the club are still missing.

"Christian Atsu was removed from the rubble and injured. Our sporting director, Taner Savut, unfortunately is still under the rubble," Ozat told Radyo Gol.

Natural disasters that have also hit northern Syria have claimed the lives of more than 3,500 people.

Rescue teams continue to search for survivors in cold weather conditions. The hope is that more can be saved.

The area was hit by a strong earthquake on February 6, which caused a number of buildings to collapse. This is Turkey's deadliest earthquake since the 7.4 magnitude earthquake in 1999 when more than 17,000 people died, including about 1,000 casualties in Istanbul.
