Gunmen on motorcycles stopped the parents of Liverpool winger Luis Diaz and kidnapped them in Colombia.
His mother was later rescued, but his father remains missing.
According to Colombia‘s President Gustavo Petro, police in the city of Barrancas saved Cilenis Marulanda.
Meanwhile, the country’s police director, General William Salamanca, said he is using every agent to find Diaz’s father.
The 26-year-old Colombian international’s parents were reportedly kidnapped as they drove to their home.
According to early reports, they were in a truck at a gas station when armed men on motorbikes approached them.
Army resources have been deployed along with the police.
Colombia’s soccer federation said the kidnapping was regrettable and urged authorities to rescue the father.
