Liverpool star Luis Diaz has been reunited with his father Luis 'Mane' Diaz for the first time since he was kidnapped in Colombia and held hostage for 12 days.

The Colombian attacker was very emotional and did not hold back the tears, as he was photographed hugging his father.

The Liverpool striker has returned to his homeland ahead of the November international break. On Tuesday morning he traveled to the city of Barranquilla to be reunited with his family.

Diaz Snr and his wife Cilenis Marulanda, who was released shortly after being taken hostage, were on October 28 kidnapped on the streets of Colombia at gunpoint by four armed men on motorbikes.

Armed members of the left-wing guerrilla group Ejercito de Liberation Nacional (ELN) held the footballer's father captive for nearly two weeks until he was released last Thursday. (A2 Televizion)
