Mo Salah, Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski shortlisted for The Best FIFA Men’s Player of the Year award | Football News

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been shortlisted for The Best FIFA Men’s Player of the Year award.

The Egypt star is currently with his national team preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations but has been nominated after a blistering start to the season at club level.
