Rescue workers are still searching for Ghanaian footballer Christian Atsu, who may be trapped under rubble after an earthquake hit Turkey.

Local media say the Hataysport player is still unaccounted for, as is the club’s sporting director Taner Savut.

The earthquake struck parts of Turkey and Syria around 04:00 local time (01:00 GMT) on Monday. This was followed hours later by a tremor.

Atsu had scored the winning goal for Hayatspor in their match only a few hours earlier on Sunday.

More than 2,000 have died in Turkey and Syria after the quakes.
