No Liverpool players have been nominated for the prestigious Ballon d'Or award, with superstars Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk left out of the top 30 men's nominees.

Egyptian superstar Salah, 32, has been left out of the running for the individual honor despite helping the Reds reclaim the EFL Cup to go alongside his 25 goals and 14 assists across all competitions between the Aug.

Salah's highest finish in the Ballon d'Or remains fifth, where he has finished twice, despite outrageous goal-scoring campaigns and Premier League, as well as Champions League-winning exploits.

The winger is set to depart Liverpool next summer unless new terms on a contract are agreed.

Defender Van Dijk, who has come closest to winning the Ballon d'Or out of any of the current Liverpool roster when he finished second behind Lionel Messi in 2019, was also snubbed.

The winner is set to be revealed next month in Paris at the Theatre du Chatelet.
