Winger Christian Atsu has not been rescued as purported to be in the media, according to Hatayspor team doctor, Gurbey Kahveci.
Atsu was trapped under debris after the earthquake and was reported to have been located on Tuesday after extensive search efforts.
But according to the team doctor, the former Chelsea and Newcastle United star cannot be located at any hospital in Turkey.
“When we heard the news that “he was taken to Dortyol Hospital”, we especially went and looked, but he was not there. At the moment, we accept that [the sporting director] Savut Taner and Christian Atsu were not found [on Monday night], unfortunately” Said Gurbey Kahveci.
Having parted ways with Al Raed in Saudi Arabia, Atsu joined Hatayspor in September and scored his first goal on Sunday.
It was a 97th minute free kick that secured three points for Hatayspor against Kasimpasa S.K.
