<p>According to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14229491/Liverpool-star-Luis-Diaz-father-hospital-kidnap-ordeal.html" target="_blank">The Daily Mail</a>, Diaz's father, Mane, was admitted to a hospital in his hometown of Barrancas this morning and is currently undergoing testing after being moved to a specialist clinic. According to the reports, the 58-year-old was transported to the Cesar Cardiovascular Institute in Valledupar after receiving oxygen and being stabilised at Our Lady of Pilar Hospital.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>On Thursday, Colombian outlet El Pilon reported that Luis Manuel, who is more often known in his native country as Mane, would have a heart catheterisation within the next several hours. A flexible tube known as a catheter is  inserted into a blood artery and sent to the heart. His family denied reports that he had a heart attack and Mane himself refuted the seriousness of the issue.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to Colombian journalist Hamilton Daa, Mane said [via <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14229491/Liverpool-star-Luis-Diaz-father-hospital-kidnap-ordeal.html" target="_blank">The Daily Mail</a>]: "I thank God for keeping me healthy again.</p><p>"I'm a bit worried but thanks to God everything is fine, it's nothing serious. The doctors have certified it's just pain and has nothing to do with heart problems.</p><p>"There's no need for anyone to be concerned. There's 'Mane' for a while."</p>

WHAT MANE SAID

<p>The 58-year-old's health issue comes just 13 months after his<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/luis-diaz-four-men-allegedly-kidnapped-liverpool-star-father-scolded-state-prosecutor-laughing-court-hearing/blt775367add5daddef" target="_blank"> terrifying kidnapping ordeal in Colombia</a>.
