The forward's father is still in the unknown

Jurgen Klopp stated that he will let Luis Diaz decide by himself whether he wants to play in the upcoming matches or not following the kidnapping of his father in Colombia.

Luis Manuel Diaz and his wife were seized at gunpoint on Saturday. Diaz’s mother was found in Barrancas but his father remains missing.

“We will wait to see how he is and go from there,” Klopp said.

“We will not force the situation – it’s out of our hands,” he added.

“If he feels right, he will train with us. When he’s with the boys he’s fine but you can tell he hasn’t slept a lot.”

The Colombian government has revealed that left wing forces are the culprit behind Diaz’ father kidnapping. It is believed that a representative of theirs has given information that Diaz will be released.

His son Luis Diaz has missed Liverpool previous 2 games as a consequence.
