The footballer was absent from his team's clash against Nottingham Forest last week and his side's Carabao Cup game against Bournemouth on Wednesday. A rebel group blamed for the abduction has claimed the star's father will be released soon.
Liverpool forward Luis Diaz has resumed training days after his parents were kidnapped in Colombia. The winger's parents were abducted by armed men on motorcycles at a petrol station in the town of Barrancas, near the country's border with Venezuela, on Saturday. The footballer's mother, Cilenis Marulanda, was rescued within hours by police after roadblocks were set up - but the search continues for his father Luis Manuel Diaz.
Klopp said he would allow Diaz to make the decision on whether he wants to be involved in Liverpool's fixture against Luton Town on Sunday. 'He was in training two days ago, yesterday he had a session and will be part of the team ,' the German coach revealed. 'We must wait. If he feels right, he will be here and train with us. The session he had with us you can see when he is with the boys he is fine, he is OK, but you could see he didn't sleep a lot,' he said.
