Ex-Black Stars players Sulley Muntari, Gyan brothers and two others visit Christian Atsu's family

Published on: 21 February 2023

Former Black Stars players, Asamoah Gyan, Baffour Gyan, and Emmanuel Agyemang Badu were at the family house of the late Christian Atsu to commiserate with them.

Other players that visited Atsu's family house were Sulley Muntari and Haminu Dramani.

Atsu lost his life following the devastating earthquake that hit the city of Hatay in Turkey on February 6, 2023.

The lifeless body of Atsu was recovered from the rubble of the collapsed apartment he was living in on February 18, 2023.

Following the arrival of Atsu’s body on Sunday night, the former Black Stars players on Tuesday visited the family house of the late Ghana star.

As a form of support, they donated packs of water to family.

They also signed in the book of condolence opened in memory of the 31-year-old.

Meanwhile, the family is yet to announce date for the final funeral rite of the former Chelsea winger.

Atsu had been trapped under rubble for over 11 days before his passing, with the earthquake claiming the lives of over 45,000 people.

The Ghanaian had recently scored his first goal for Hatayaspor just hours before the natural disaster struck.

During his career, Atsu played 65 matches for Ghana, scoring nine goals. Two of his most famous goals came in the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Egypt and in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, quarter-finals clash against Guinea, where he scored an absolutely breathtaking goal.
