Ahmet Eyup Turkaslan, a goalkeeper from Turkey, has been found dead after the earthquake on Monday, according to his club Yeni Malatyaspor.

The 28-year-old played six times for Yeni Malatyaspor and has also played for Umraniyespor, Osmanlispor, Bugsasspor, and Gaziantepspor, all of which are Turkish clubs.

Malatyaspor, a team from the second level, tweeted on Tuesday that Turkaslan had passed away.

"Our goalkeeper, Ahmet Eyup Turkaslan, lost his life after being under the collapse of the earthquake. Rest in peace," the club said. "We will not forget you, beautiful person."

Former Crystal Palace and Everton winger Yannick Bolasie, currently on loan in the Turkish second division with Caykur Rizespor, was among those to pay tribute.

"RIP brother Eyup Ahmet Turkaslan," he posted on Twitter. "One moment you can see someone in the dugout, the next moment they're gone."

More than 7,800 people have died in Turkey and Syria following the earthquake that hit earlier this week.

Former Ghana and Newcastle winger Christian Atsu, who plays for Super Lig side Hatayspor, was pulled alive from the rubble of a building he was in.

All football matches in Turkey have been postponed indefinitely amid the humanitarian crisis.
