Five Liverpool stars are among the candidates for the 2020 Best FIFA awards ahead of the ceremony that takes place next month.
The organisers of the Ballon d'Or - France Football - cancelled the event in July due to the coronavirus pandemic, but that has not stopped FIFA drawing up their top 11 players of the calendar year.
Forwards Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah are joined by fellow Reds team-mates Thiago Alcantara and injured defender Virgil van Dijk in the Best FIFA Men's Player category.
