Present at a press conference before facing promoted Luton Town (05.11, 5:30 p.m.) as part of the 11th day of the Premier League, Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp announced the upcoming return to the group of his Colombian striker Luis Diaz, sidelined from the team due to the kidnapping of his parents in Colombia, his mother having since been released. If he admits to not having any new information on the situation of the father of the international of the Cafeteros (43 caps, 9 goals), the German coach was keen to provide news of his 26-year-old player. “He was in training two days ago, he took part in a session yesterday and will be part of the team. We have to wait – if he feels good, he will be here and train with us.”he explained to journalists.
“The session he had with us, because we weren’t there, showed that when he is with the boys everything is fine, everything is fine. But you can also see that he hasn’t slept much. We have to see how he is and then we will move forward. The news from Colombia, I did not receive it personally, I always receive it by mail. Anything that gives us a little hope is good. We’re waiting for the real good news, but that’s about it. I can’t really say what we will do, because we are waiting to know where we can pick up the boy and we will take action from there. But it all depends on him, whether he makes himself available or not, and I won’t force anything.” In the event of a victory on the Hatters’ pitch, the Reds will have the opportunity to put pressure on the podium occupants.
