#6 Mohamed Salah
Ad

Once the leading candidate for the Ballon d'Or this year, now not even in the top 5! Mohamed Salah's injury and World Cup campaign has changed things around drastically.

The Egyptian broke several records last season and was Premier League Golden Boot winner but that has not helped him cement his place in the top 3. More than the subpar show at the World Cup, it is the tremendous performances by the other candidates that have resulted in his steep fall in the ranking.
Salah has not had a very good start to the Premier League 2018/19 season as well. Sadio mane has outshone him at Liverpool this year and it might be the Senegal winger's time to shine!
