Four Liverpool players feature in 2020 FIFA Men’s Player of the year nominee list, while Reds manager Jurgen Klopp is in the shortlist for Best FIFA men’s coach.

Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Sadio Mane – who were simply outstanding for the Reds last season as they lifted their 19th league title – have all made it to the list. Thiago Alcantara – who joined Liverpool this summer from Bayern Munich – also finds himself among the nominees, although his achievements are based on the outstanding 2019/20 season for the German club with whom he won the Bundesliga and the Champions League.
