Ghana legend, Abedi Pele, has visited the bereaved family of Christian Atsu to mourn with them.
Atsu was trapped in a rubble following an earthquake that struck Turkey last week that has claimed over 46,000 lives.
After 12 days of intense search, the 31-year-old was confirmed dead by his club, Hatayspor and his agent after he was discovered on Saturday morning.
The mortal remains of the former Chelsea and Newcastle United winger arrived in the country on Sunday evening.
Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, government officials, and some members of the Atsu family, and Ghana Football Association officials were all at the Kotoka International Airport to receive the lifeless body.
However, on Monday, Abedi Pele, who is a legend of the country together with his family, visited the family of Atsu in Accra.
