The father of Liverpool footballer Luis Diaz, who was kidnapped in Colombia, will be freed “as soon as possible”, according to a representative of the rebel group holding him.
Luis Manuel Diaz and his wife, Cilenis Marulanda, were snatched by armed men on motorbikes at a petrol station in the town of Barrancas, in La Guajira, near the border with Venezuela, on Saturday.
She was rescued within hours after police set up roadblocks – but the whereabouts of her husband remain unknown.
