Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah has not been shortlisted for the FIFA FIFPRO Men's World XI for 2021.
The Egypt international finished seventh in the 2021 Ballon d'Or and already has 21 goals and nine assists to his name from all competitions this season.
There are spots for Alisson Becker and Trent Alexander-Arnold on the shortlist, but Salah does not make the cut on the shortlist of attackers for the Men's World XI.
Karim Benzema, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski, Erling Braut Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Romelu Lukaku have all been preferred to Salah for the 2021 edition.
The Premier League is also represented by Edouard Mendy, Ruben Dias, Kevin De Bruyne, Bruno Fernandes, Jorginho and N'Golo Kante ahead of the ceremony in Zurich on January 2017.
Salah is currently preparing for Liverpool's Premier League clash with Newcastle United on Thursday, where he will be out to score or assist for the 15th top-flight game in a row.
