Police in Colombia are searching a mountain range in the north of the country for the kidnapped father of Liverpool striker Luis Diaz.
Diaz’s mother has since been rescued it has been confirmed, but Colombian authorities have stepped up the search for his father, with the player having returned home to be with family members.
In a post on social media, Colombian Police Director General William Salamanca was shown visiting the operation in order to “recognise our commandos for their bravery and commitment to rescue him safe and sound”.Police have offered a reward worth around £39,000 for information leading to the rescue of Luis Manuel Diaz.
Speaking after Sunday’s 3-0 home win over Nottingham Forest, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said preparation for the game had been “the most difficult I’ve ever had in my life”.Klopp added: “I didn’t expect that, I wasn’t prepared for it. I don’t want to make the game bigger than it was, but definitely, we tried to help Luis with the fight we put in because obviously we want to help and we cannot really help.
