LIVERPOOL, England: Liverpool will again be without Thiago Alcantara for Wednesday's League Cup tie at Bournemouth, said assistant manager Pep Lijnders, who added that the club's thoughts are with Luis Diaz after his parents were kidnapped in Colombia on Saturday (Oct 28).

Diaz missed Sunday's 3-0 home win over Nottingham Forest and the team dedicated the victory to him with Diogo Jota hoisting the forward's No 7 shirt aloft after scoring the first goal.

"Lucho is one of us. Putting the shirt up for him was a nice gesture - he knows we are here for him," Lijnders added."How the stadium reacted was special as well - whole fanbase is behind him. Our motto is 'You'll Never Walk Alone.'" "We really miss him, but he will take time. He will not be available. He's an unbelievable professional, unbelievable guy. We hope to get him back soon."

Liverpool have won a record nine League Cups, but lost to Manchester City in the fourth round last season.
