Liverpool FC winger Luis Diaz is yet to decide whether or not to play in Sunday’s match against Luton.
Diaz’s father is still missing after he was kidnapped by a group recognised as terrorists by the Columbian government.
Both parents of the footballer were taken by armed men on motorcycles at a gas station in the small town of Barrancas, Columbia, on Saturday 28 October.
The footballer’s mother, Cilenis Marulanda, was rescued within hours by police who set up roadblocks around the town of 40,000 people, which is near Colombia’s border with Venezuela.
There has, however, been suggestions in South America that Diaz’s father may soon be set free.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said he will let Diaz decide whether he wants to take part in the weekend’s match or not.
Klopp said: “He was in training two days ago, yesterday he had a session and will be part of the team (training).
“We must wait.
If he feels right, he will be here and train with us.
The session he had with us, you can see when he is with the boys he is fine, he is OK, but you could see he didn’t sleep a lot.
“We have to see how he is and we go from there.
News from Colombia gives us some hope.
We are waiting for some very good news but that’s all.
“I can’t say what we’ll do because we’re just waiting for where we can pick him up and go from there.
” “But it’s up to him, whether he’s free or not, I won’t force him.”
