Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will allow Luis Diaz to decide whether he is able to play this weekend following his father’s kidnapping in Colombia.

Klopp confirmed Diaz returned to training on Wednesday as the Reds prepare to face Luton tomorrow.

Luis Manuel Diaz and his wife were seized at gunpoint on Saturday.

Diaz’s mother was found in Barrancas but his father remains missing.

The Colombian government says Diaz’s father was kidnapped by left-wing rebels of the National Liberation Army (ELN), sparking a major military and police search.

A representative of the group has reportedly said it will free Diaz’s father in the coming days.

Diaz was absent from the Liverpool side which beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 on Sunday, during which team-mate Diogo Jota held up Diaz’s number seven shirt after scoring his side’s first goal.

He was again absent for his side’s English Football League Cup last 16 win against Bournemouth on Wednesday.
