RIP: Christian Atsu en materiaalmeester overleven aardbevingen Turkije niet
De lange zoektocht naar het lichaam van Christian Atsu is afgelopen. De 31-jarige Ghanese profvoetballer heeft de aardbevingen in Turkije niet overleefd.
Bij Hatayspor zijn ze in diepe rouw. Materiaalman Onur Akdeniz is ook niet levend onder het puin vandaan gekomen. Christian Atsu speelde bij Newcastle United, Chelsea en Vitesse. Hij viel op 5 februari in tegen Kasimpasa en lukte met een vrije trap de winnende treffer (1-0). Uren later sloeg het noodlot toe.
Hatayspor heeft zijn social media-kanalen op zwart gezet. De Turkse club meldt dat het lichaam van Atsu naar Ghana zal worden gebracht, waar de zestigvoudig international zal worden begraven.
Başımız sağ olsun.
