Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah have been named on the 10-man shortlist for the CAF African Player of the Year award.

The Liverpool duo placed first (Salah) and second (Mane) in the rankings for the accolade in both 2017 and 2018 and are once again in the running to be crowned their continent's best men's player.

Head coaches/technical directors and captains of the member CAF nations will vote to decide the recipient of the 2019 prize, with the winner to be announced at a ceremony in Hurghada, Egypt, on January 7 next year.
