Chris Sutton hails Luis Diaz's 'strength of character' as It's All Kicking Off co-host opens up on his own traumatic ordeal which halted his Celtic career when his premature son died and came back to life after choking in car

Chris Sutton has revealed the emotional story of his son's early life health issues after reflecting on Luis Diaz's ongoing struggles.

Liverpool star Diaz scored a crucial equaliser for his side in their 1-1 draw with Luton Town, despite the ongoing search for his father, Luis Manuel, who was abducted along with his wife in their hometown of Barrancas near the Venezuelan border last Saturday.

His mother was rescued hours later and returned to family but his father remains in the hands of ELN - with authorities now looking to accelerate the search for Luis Manuel.
