Mohamed Salah has missed out on a nomination for the PFA Player of the Year award, and it looks like he may have seen it coming.
The Reds forward scored 31 goals in all competitions, 22 in the Premier League and was just one behind Golden Boot winner Harry Kane.
Despite an impressive season in front of goal, Salah has not been named as a nominee for this year’s PFA award.
Four players that have been nominated come from Manchester City - Ruben Dias, Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden and Ilkay Gundogan.
Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes and Tottenham striker Kane are the other two players to be nominated, with no one from Liverpool included.
In his first year at Liverpool, Salah scored 44 goals in all competitions and scooped all of the major individual awards, including the PFA Player of the Year.
Since then, however, he has not been so much as nominated for the accolade, despite scoring 81 goals and providing 31 assists over the past three years.
It seems that Salah might have seen this coming, based on a social media post from two years ago.
A year after Salah won the individual awards, his team mate Virgil van Dijk did the same with his performances in the 2018/19 season.
Soon after the Reds defender was confirmed as the winner, Salah posted on his Instagram story a congratulatory message to his team mate that may have predicted how things would pan out in the future.
Salah wrote: “Just be careful and don’t win all the awards this year, otherwise you know what will happen next year!”
This was in reference to Salah not being nominated for any individual awards in 2018/19, despite being a joint-Golden Boot winner with Sadio Mane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Despite Salah’s continued performances and form in front of goal, Salah is still waiting to receive a second PFA Player of the Year nomination.
