The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced its national teams department is contacting all Ghanaian players in earthquake hit Turkey to ensure they are safe.

This comes after news broke earlier today that Ghana winger Christian Atsu is trapped in the rubble after the incident and has not been found yet.

Ghana midfielder Isaac Cofie also experienced the disaster but confirmed he is fine. Some female footballers have also confirmed they are safe.

The GFA has now also released a statement saying they are liaising with NGO's to make sure Ghanaian players in Turkey are safe.

"National Teams Department of the GFA has been contacting all Ghanaian footballers within Turkey and Syria to ensure their safety in this difficult moment," the statement said.

"We will continue to liaise with all authorities and NGOs as we remain hopeful for positive news on all of them."

Atsu is still unreachable according Turkish and Ghanaian reports and rescue team is still working on reaching him and the club director.
