Ghanaian player, Christian Atsu has been found alive and rescued from the rubble

Former Black Stars and Hatayspor winger Christian Atsu has reportedly been found alive after he went missing under rubble from the devastating earthquake that rocked Turkey today.

According to multiple reports, the former Chelsea player has been transported to a nearby hospital where he is expected to recover.

The earthquake struck parts of Turkey and Syria around 04:00 local time (01:00 GMT) on Monday. This was followed hours later by a tremor.

Atsu had scored the winning goal for Hayatspor in their match only a few hours earlier on Sunday.

More than 2,000 have died in Turkey and Syria after the quakes.
