the former Chelsea is not safe – Corriere.it

First fear, then relief, then fear again. Become, at this point, probably terror. Christian Atsuthe 31-year-old former Chelsea footballer from Ghana today at Hatayspor, a team that plays in the Turkish Superlig, after the earthquake that devastated parts of Turkey and Syria
not found yet. Two days ago the news of his disappearance had emerged, yesterday his attorney had told of his discovery with lots of details, now the news that the Ghanaian is still under the rubble.

The prosecutor’s words had deluded everyone: I have just been informed that Christian was rescued and taken to the hospital – Nana Sechere had let it be known -. The last time I heard it was at midnight on a Sunday. Christian and his buddies played poker until 3.30 in the morning at a friend’s apartment. returned at 4 and the earthquake started about twenty minutes later. A club official called me and told me that the building Christian was in had been completely destroyed. He was on the 9th floor of an 11 story building. After a while the club officials told me he was in hospital and stable. Yet, unfortunately, the reality is quite different: Christian Atsu has not yet been found.

Mustafa Ozil, vice president of the team, said: I had received information that Atsu had been removed from the rubble. However, the information received at the moment is that both he and sporting director Taner Savut are under the rubble. A story also confirmed by the Hatayspor team doctor shortly after: When we heard the news that Christian Atsu had been “taken to Dortyol Hospital” we went looking for him, but he wasn’t there. At the moment unfortunately he and Taner Savut have not been found. A tragedy after the illusion, with the passing of time which lowers the chances of finding the two still alive.
