Published on: 22 February 2023

Kwadwo Asamoah, Derek Boateng, and Jerry Akaminko were among some former Black Stars players to visit the family of the late Christian Atsu to commiserate with them.

The players also signed the book of condolence opened for the late winger.

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.

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

Christian Atsu’s one week observation has been set for March 4.

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.
