Mane and Salah on African Player of the Year shortlist
Liverpool duo Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah have been nominated for the CAF African Player of the Year award.
The forwards were named on the 30-man shortlist for the prize on Wednesday, alongside Guinea midfielder Naby Keita, who has agreed to join the Reds from RB Leipzig in July 2018.
The winner – which will be decided via a combination of votes by head coaches and technical directors of the organisation’s national teams, members of CAF’s technical and development committee and a panel of media experts – will be announced on January 4.
