Liverpool have confirmed an “ongoing situation” involving the family of Luis Díaz amid reports the forward’s parents were kidnapped in Colombia. It has since been confirmed that his mother was rescued but his father remains missing.
Díaz was subsequently left out of the Liverpool squad to face Nottingham Forest on Sunday. “We had to obviously make a late change because of the private situation involving Luis Díaz,” Jürgen Klopp said ahead of the game at Anfield. “It’s a worrying situation for all of us and it was a pretty tough night. I have never had that before, it’s a new experience I never needed.”
