Liverpool have flown the parents of Colombian forward, Luis Diaz, over to spend Christmas in England as they recover from the ordeal of being kidnapped in their homeland.
Diaz’s father was released last week after being held for 12 days by the ELN guerilla group.
Luis Manuel Diaz was kidnapped alongside his wife, Cilenis Marulanda, on October 28.
Marulanda was rescued hours later and a massive search operation by ground and air was launched for her husband.
