Former Newcastle and Chelsea midfielder Atsu, 31, joined the
Super Lig side in September under their sporting director Taner Savut.
“Taner Savut and Christian Atsu are still in the debris,”
Mustafa Ozat told Play Spor.
“They are trying to escape,” he added.
Atsu spent five seasons at Newcastle after an initial
campaign on loan before leaving for Saudi Arabia in 2021.
“Praying for some positive news, @ChristianAtsu20,” the
English outfit said on Twitter.
He won the last of his 60 Black Stars caps in September
2019.
“We pray for Ghana International Christian Atsu and victims
of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria,” the Ghana Football Association said on
Twitter.
“We continue with our efforts to establish contact with
officials of Hatayspor and the Turkish Football Federation, considering the
difficult situation,” it added.
Dozens of nations have pledged aid since the 7.8-magnitude
quake earlier on Monday, which hit as people were still sleeping and amid
freezing weather that has hampered emergency efforts.
Multi-storey apartment buildings full of residents were
among the 5,606 structures reduced to rubble in Turkey, while Syria announced
dozens of collapses, as well as damage to archaeological sites in Aleppo.
