“All I know is that his agent is in Turkey trying to get to the place where everything happened. They know where the building is and they keep trying to save people. They know there are people under the rubble, but they don’t have the necessary equipment,” he told the BBC. Claire Rupio, wife of Christian Atsu, former striker of FC Porto and currently under contract with Turkish club Hatayspor. “I still pray and believe that he is alive.”
After Monday’s earthquake, it was reported, even by the Atsu club, that the player had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. However, information is rejected.
“It was shocking to hear the club say he has been found and taken to hospital and hours later the kids heard on the radio that they don’t know where he is. I know his agent is there, he is doing everything he can to find him.” and I believe he will bring me news that I can trust,” continued Atsu’s wife, with whom he has three children.
Claire also left a call to Hatayspor, the Turkish authorities and the British government, asking them to send equipment to “get people out of the rubble, especially my partner and father of my children”. “Time is running out,” the British woman complained.
