• Diaz’s parents reportedly abducted in Colombia
• Colombian President reports mother’s location, father missing

Liverpool has acknowledged being informed about a developing situation concerning the family of Luis Diaz, following reports of his parents’ abduction in Colombia.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro shared on social media that Diaz’s mother was located in Barrancas, while his father remains unaccounted for.

Liverpool said Diaz’s welfare “will continue to be our immediate priority”.

“It is our fervent hope that the matter is resolved safely and at the earliest possible opportunity,” the club said.

Luis Diaz was omitted from Liverpool’s match-day squad for the Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said it was a “worrying situation for all of us”.

“We had to obviously make a late change because of the private situation involving Luis Diaz,” Klopp said before the match.

“It was a pretty tough night. I have never had that before. It’s a new experience I never needed.”

Additionally, the Colombian Football Federation extended their support to the forward and his family.

“We express our solidarity with him and his entire family and we call for the relevant authorities to act as quickly as possible to resolve the situation,” a statement read.
