Luis Diaz has travelled to France with Liverpool's squad ahead of the Reds' Europa League tie against Toulouse as the process of rescuing his father Luis Manuel Diaz begins in Colombia.
Diaz Snr - also known as Mane - was kidnapped nearly 12 days ago along with his wife Cilenis Marulanda from their hometown of Barrancas, in La Guijarra by Marxist-Leninist guerrilla organisation ELN.
After agreeing to withdraw troops the area along the Colombian-Venezuelan border where the organisation are believed to be keeping Diaz Snr hostage on Monday, it was widely expected that the group would begin the process of his release.
