Liverpool assistant coach Pep Lijnders says 'the whole club is behind' Luis Diaz after his parents were kidnapped in Colombia - with his father still missing

Pep Lijnders has revealed Liverpool are giving Luis Diaz as much support as possible as the search for his father continues after he was kidnapped in Colombia.

Diaz was told about his parents being kidnapped on Saturday evening, less than 24 hours before Liverpool's 3-0 win against Nottingham Forest at Anfield.

His mother, Cilenis Marulanda, has since been freed from the kidnappers, but the whereabouts of his father, Luis Manuel, remain unknown.

There is currently a huge search for Luis Manuel in his homeland, while Diaz is still in Liverpool hoping for positive news.
