Four Liverpool players have been included on the FIFA FIFPro World 11 shortlist, but none of them are the Anfield favourite.
Virgil van Dijk, Dejan Lovren, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane all made the list, which was voted for by 25,000 professional players in 65 different countries.
The final XI will be announced at an event in London on September 24, but Liverpool fans are fuming that Firmino isn’t included.

The Brazilian is the engine that allows the likes of Salah and Mane to do what they do, and he pitched in with 25 goals and 14 assists of his own last season.
He was particularly effective in the Champions League, which is perhaps why it is so surprising that he has not been nominated.
