Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker said playing can bring a “slice of joy” to Luis Diaz after the Colombian scored on his first appearance since his parents were kidnapped.

Diaz’s mother was rescued within hours of her capture by a Colombian guerilla group on October 28, but the search goes on for his father Luis Manuel Diaz.

After heading in a stoppage-time equaliser to prevent Liverpool suffering a shock defeat at Luton in a 1-1 draw on Sunday, Diaz displayed a t-shirt saying “freedom for Dad”.

“It says a lot about his character, his strength, not many people imagine what he is going through,” Alisson told Sky Sports.
