He however said search and rescue efforts continue for Hatayspor Sporting Director, Taner Savut.
Atsu and Hatayspor’s sporting director Taner Savut went missing on Monday after a building they were in collapsed after a massive earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria.
The earthquake hit hard in Kahramanmaras, where Hatayspor is based.
Atsu, who has three kids with his wife Marie-Claire, plays for Hatayspor, who he joined last summer.
Atsu, who scored deep into stoppage time on Saturday to secure a 1-0 win over Kasimpasa, left St James’ Park during the summer of 2021 after making 121 appearances for the club.
He joined Chelsea from Porto for £ 3.5 million in 2013 but didn’t make a single appearance for the Premier League giants.
Atsu took in loans at Vitesse, Everton, Bournemouth, Malaga and Newcastle.
And the Magpies made his deal permanent in 2017 after Atsu played a key role in their promotion from the Championship.
The ace ended up making 86 appearances for Newcastle before joining Al-Raed in 2021.
Atsu moved to Hatayspor last summer and has one goal in four games for the Turks.
