Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk is among the nominees for FIFA’s The Best award.
He will again do battle with Barcelona star Lionel Messi and Juventus‘ Cristiano Ronaldo at The Best FIFA Awards later this month.
The trio have been named as the final three for the Men’s Player of the Year, after a 10-man shortlist including Harry Kane, Eden Hazard, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah was whittled down on Monday.
Van Dijk was named UEFA Men’s Player of the Year last week ahead of the Barcelona Portugal superstars, and the Dutchman is again favourite to take FIFA’s version of the prize.
The award, based on what players achieved between July 16 2018 and July 19 2019, will be announced in Milan on September 23.
