The vice president of Ghana, Dr Mammoud Bawumia has also reacted to the alleged missing of Black stars player Christian Atsu.

On his official Facebook post he wrote” My thoughts and prayers are with our brother Christian Atsu, all Ghanaians in Turkey and Syria and the people in these countries following the earthquake.

May God protect them all

Christian Atsu is amongst the victims reportedly trapped under rubble after a huge earthquake hit Turkey as search and rescue efforts get underway.

A search and rescue operation is underway after Atsu, who formerly played for Chelsea and Newcastle United, was caught up in the 7.7 magnitude earthquake. The 65-cap Ghana international joined Super Lig club Hataysport last summer.

Several members of his new team had to be rescued after the earthquake and Atsu is now reported to be amongst those still missing as a search and rescue operation gets underway. The club's sporting director, Taner Savut, is also trapped as efforts to free them continue.
