The 31-year-old was managed to exhume with several injuries to the body, according to Mustafa Ozat, deputy head of the Turkish Superleague Club Hatayspor.

While reportedly Taner Savut, the club's sports director, is still blocked, Ozat told Anadolu.

The international explorer from Ghana, Atsu, who joined Hatayspor last year, has previously played for several European teams such as Premierleagues Everton, Chelsea and Neetzastle United, as well as Portuguese Porto club.

Many of his previous clubs posted messages of support and prayer after the midfielder was reported missing.

Over 5 thousand people have died as a result of the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and northern Syria, while this number is expected to increase as many more are still lying in ruins.
