Egypt's Mohamed Salah nominated for FIFA best player of the year
Egyptian and Liverpool forward, Mohamed Salah, has been nominated for the top annual award handed by football governing body, FIFA.
Salah, 30, was the sole African player to be nominated. The
Egyptian’s nomination comes on the back of a successful club campaign
with the Reds.
In the 2017/2018 football season, Salah broke club and Premier
League records – winning a number of accolades including the league’s
player of the year.
According to FIFA, the period under consideration for the award was: 3 July 2017-15 July 2018.
A fine season with Liverpool ended with heartbreak after the team
lost the Champions League final to Real Madrid. Salah suffered an injury
and failed to finish the game.
That injury placed his participation at the World Cup in doubt. He,
however, made the trip to Russia and played a role in Egypt’s dismal
appearance. The Pharoahs were kicked out in the first round without a
win.
