I don't know very well the distribution of teams by zones in Turkey, so I'm asking this question:

Can anyone tell me if there is any team in the affected area and if the players are there?

Former Newcastle United player Christian Atsu is reported to be trapped under rubble following the earthquakes that hit Turkey and Syria on Monday.

A 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit south-eastern Turkey and northern Syria during the early hours, followed by a second of 7.5.

The 31-year-old Ghanian, now playing his football with Turkish Super Lig side Hatayspor, was said to be missing along with director Taner Suvut after teammates and members of the clubs technical staff had been rescued.

Taner Savut and Christian Atsu were left under the rubble, reported Turkish newspaper Star Gazette. Search and rescue teams are looking for two names.

7 days of national mourning was declared in Turkey. All matches will probably be postponed until the Beşiktaş - Antalyaspor match, which will be played on 14.02.2023. Maybe the matches until the 17th of this month can be postponed.

My condolences to the families and friends of Christian Atsu and Ahmet Türkaslan. We are going through days of deep sadness for Turkey and the Turkish Super League. May Allah help us all.

this is very shocking and sad news, I do not know to what extent what I see on TV and newspapers in Portuguese is true, but I heard that there are many players missing and that the player Ahmet Eyüp Türkaslan, now the death toll has risen to 3400

and looking at the destruction it caused, then this number could still increase unfortunately, this is a situation that should stop the games for 1 month so that the teams that are directly affected can have time to recover, this is my opinion
