Liverpool, Premier League’s powerhouse, rallies behind their star player, Luis Diaz, as they continue to search for his kidnapped father in Colombia. Armed assailants abducted Diaz’s parents in Barrancas, Colombia, with his mother being rescued swiftly by local police, but his father remains missing.
The club’s assistant boss, Pepijn Lijnders, expressed the team’s unwavering support for Diaz in this difficult time. He praised Diaz’s incredible skills on the field, but also highlighted his warm personality and strong bonds within the team.
Liverpool, along with FIFA and the Colombian Football Federation, has extended its support to Diaz and allowed him to return home during this distressing period. The football world’s solidarity was on display during Liverpool’s recent 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, where Diaz’s teammates paid tribute to him, and the fans rallied behind the club’s motto, “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
As the search for Diaz’s father continues, authorities have initiated air and land patrols in Colombia’s border region with Venezuela, and a reward of $48,000 has been offered for information leading to his rescue. Liverpool’s focus remains on supporting their player and hoping for a swift resolution to the family’s ordeal.
