#3 Egypt - Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah has elevated his game for Liverpool this season. He joins an elite class of players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez to have won both the FWA and PFA football player of the year in a single season, and is also the first African to win the FWA award.
Salah was crucial for Egypt's qualification, scoring the two goals against Congo, which led to Egypt going to their first World Cup in 28 years.
Salah's pace, trickery and goal-scoring prowess will be very important for Egypt to have a successful campaign in Russia. After the scintillating season that he has had for Liverpool, in which he will finish as the top scorer in the league, expect the winger to rise to the occasion.
Notable Mention: Ramadan Sobhi
