Liverpool Footballer Luis Díaz Reunited with Father After Kidnapping Ordeal

Díaz Returns to Colombia for National Team Training Following Emotional Reunion

Liverpool footballer Luis Díaz has been reunited with his father, Luis Manuel Díaz, who was released by the National Liberation Army (ELN) after being held hostage for 12 days.
The ELN had kidnapped both of Díaz's parents for ransom, but quickly released his mother, Cilenis Marulanda, as police closed in.
Luis Díaz missed two of Liverpool's matches during his father's kidnapping, but returned to play in the English Premier League game against Luton on 5 November.
After scoring a goal in stoppage time during the game, Díaz lifted his shirt to reveal a message reading 'freedom for papa'.
Luis Díaz has now returned to Colombia to train with the national team ahead of its World Cup qualifier against Brazil.
