Luis Manuel Diaz was kidnapped and held by the National Liberation Army (ELN) for 12 days before his release on November 9. He was handed over to a humanitarian commission consisting of the United Nations and the Catholic Church.
The player's father opened up on his experience while kidnapped, saying: "It was a lot of horseback riding, a lot of mountains, a lot of rain, too many insects. I couldn’t sleep peacefully. It was difficult. Almost 12 days without sleep."
The Liverpool winger will likely be in action when Colombia take on Brazil and Paraguay in their upcoming World Cup qualifying matches.
