Diaz travels with Liverpool squad to face Toulouse despite father's kidnapping

Colombian international Luis Diaz begged the guerrilla group which kidnapped his parents on 28th October to release his father after scoring on his return to action for Liverpool.

The 26-year-old missed several matches due to the search for his father, who is still being kidnapped by a criminal group, but he has decided to continue playing while Colombian police continue to look for him.

So much so that Diaz has travelled with the Liverpool squad to Toulouse for their fourth European game this campaign in the Europa League. Jurgen Klopp's men are top by nine after winning their last three games.

According to reports in England, Luis Diaz's father could be released in the next few hours as humanitarian groups are working around the clock to rescue him.
