Christian Atsu, a former winger for Newcastle and Chelsea, is reportedly trapped under debris following the devastating earthquake in Turkey.

After the earthquake, experts had to save several members of Atsu's new squad.

Taner Savut, the sporting director for Hatayspor, is allegedly still missing and believed to be buried beneath the rubble.

According to Star, a search-and-rescue mission is in progress to locate the Ghanaian celebrity who was injured in Monday's 7.8 magnitude earthquake.

The earthquake hit hard in Kahramanmaras, where Hataysport are based.

Two players and members of the technical staff were "pulled out of the rubble" in a dramatic rescue operation.

And efforts remain ongoing to find Atsu and Savut as quickly as possible.

Over 1,000 people are believed to have died in the earthquake that struck Turkey around 4am on Monday morning.

And experts say the toll could rise to 10,000 after a second 7.5 magnitude quake hit later on.
