Diaz was named on the bench for Liverpool's game at Luton.
Luis Diaz was given a standing ovation at Kenilworth Road Jurgen Klopp says it has been ‘pretty emotional’ to have Luis Diaz back in the Liverpool squad amid the kidnapping of his father. The Colombian’s parents were kidnapped last weekend in his home country, with his mother released shortly after but his father remains a hostage, though there are encouraging reports that he could be released soon.
Jurgen Klopp said Diaz’s return was decided by the player alone ‘But all the signs he gets as I understand it are very positive. ‘Negotiations are ongoing but it is still positive so that is why he wanted to be part of the team and he could come on as well. From that point of view I have no issue but nobody can imagine how something like that feels.
