Diaz&#8217;s family was rocked by news last week that both of his parents were kidnapped back home in Colombia.<\/p>\n<p>His mother was rescued by police, but Diaz&#8217;s father remains at large and the Colombian government announced the National Liberation Army (ELN) were responsible for the kidnapping. The guerilla group put out a statement this week insisting they would get Diaz&#8217;s father released soon.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not yet been confirmed whether Luis Manuel Diaz has been returned to his family home, but Klopp has confirmed things are at least looking &#8220;positive&#8221;. That appears to have convinced Diaz enough to make his return to football for the first time since his parents were kidnapped last week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s still pretty emotional but Luis decided three days ago he wanted to join training again,&#8221; Klopp told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n<p>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5050695.jpg?r=1699201616745\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I said it before, training ground and football pitch is a safe place for the boys. There he can behave normal, forget for a few minutes at least what&#8217;s going on, but all the signs he gets as far as I understand it are very positive.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Negotiations are ongoing but still positive so that&#8217;s why he wanted to be a part of the team and could come on as well. Nobody can really imagine how something like that feels, but on the training ground it&#8217;s fine and that&#8217;s why he&#8217;s here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Liverpool may be haunted by Taiwo Awoniyi after Mohamed Salah forced star out[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Andre sends Liverpool a message as Fluminense win Copa Libertadores[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Liverpool risk never pairing &#8216;outstanding&#8217; star with Szoboszlai and Mac Allister[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &amp; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool players showed their support for Diaz during their 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest last week.
