Het trieste nieuws van het overlijden van voetballer Christian Atsu (31) werd zaterdagochtend bevestigd. Al dagenlang bestond er veel bezorgdheid over de oud-Vitessenaar, die na de aardbevingen in Turkije vermist was. Inmiddels is de vrees dus werkelijkheid geworden: de speler van Hatayspor heeft de ramp niet overleefd. De voetbalwereld rouwt om het overlijden van Atsu.
Hatayspor, de club waar Atsu sinds september 2022 onder contract stond, bevestigde het nieuws van zijn overlijden. 'We zullen je nooit vergeten, Atsu', schreef de club op Twitter. 'Vrede zij met jou, jij prachtig mens. Er zijn geen woorden om ons verdriet te beschrijven. Rust in vrede, Atsu.'
The funeral of our football player Christian Atsu, who lost his life under the rubble ( debris), is on his way to be sent to his hometown, Ghana. We will not forget you, Atsu. Peace be upon you, beautiful person. There are no words to describe our sadness.
