Christian Atsu’s manager, Nana Sechere has confirmed to Happy Sports that the Ghana midfielder is yet to be located some 24 hours after he was pulled out of the debris.
The former Chelsea and Newcastle forward went missing after a 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit Turkey and Syria in the early hours of Monday morning, with over 2300 people reported dead.
Atsu and the Sporting Director of Hatayaspor, Taner Savut, were the remaining members of the team that were missing since the disaster.
However, on Tuesday morning it was confirmed Atsu has been rescued while the search for Savut continues.
He was under the rubble for 26 hours before he was found by the rescue team.
Speaking in an exclusive interview on the Happy Sports show on Happy 98.9FM, Nana Sechere disclosed that he has been in constant contact with all officials of Hatayaspor, and information that reached him was that no official saw the player being rescued.
“I am in constant communication with all of the officials at Hatayaspor and none of them have any eyewitness account on Christian Atsu” he confirmed on Happy Sports.
“The main question is, how can we prove that he was rescued out of the rubble? The only eyewitness account which is 100% vivid is from the brother of a Director of one of the clubs who is adamant he saw Atsu being rescued. This is all of the information I have” he added.
He however added that the search is still on in other neighboring hospitals for Atsu,
“We haven’t been able to locate Atsu in any of the Hospitals and we are currently looking at neighboring hospitals” he added.
