CAIRO – 21 August 2018: UEFA announced on Monday their shortlist of UEFA Player of the Year award and Liverpool's Egyptian winger, Mohamed Salah, is among the nominees.

Salah is nominated for the award alongside Cristiano Ronaldo who achieved the UEFA Champions League title before and Luka Modric who led Croatia to the World Cup Final in Russia beside his success on the club level.

Salah made history as he is the first Egyptian player ever to be nominated for such an award.

Salah is also shortlisted for FIFA Player of the Year award alongside Lionel Messi, Ronaldo, Modric, Kylian Mbappe, Kevin De Bruyne, Antoine Griezmann, Eden Hazard, Harry Kane and Rafael Varane.

Salah won the nomination after an amazing season with his club, Liverpool, having scored 44 goals, including 32 goals in the league to be the Premier League top goal scorer.

He also led the Egyptian national team to the 2018 World Cup in Russia for the first time since 1990 in Italy but the shoulder injury he picked at the UEFA Champions League final affected his performance at the tournament.
