Liverpool FC have have flown the parents of their star player, Luiz Diaz to England to spend Christmas with him following the father’s 12-day ordeal in the hands of Colombian separatists.

GWG.ng reports that Diaz’s father was released last week after being held for 12 days by the ELN guerilla group.

Luis Manuel Diaz was seized along with his wife Cilenis Marulanda on October 28.

Diaz will join them in England after representing Colombia in Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier away to Paraguay.

The Reds have a hectic fixture schedule on their return from the international break with 11 matches between November 25 and January 1.

GWG.ng reports that the Christmas package for the Luiz Diaz parents may be seen as the priority that Liverpool gives to the well-being of their players and by extension to their families.
