World XI squad REVEALED: Mohamed Salah does NOT make the cut as FIFPro reveal 23-man list of 2021's best players - with four Chelsea stars and two each from Man United, Liverpool and Man City... but how did crisis club Barcelona get FOUR nominees?

Mohamed Salah is among the high-profile absentees from FIFA's star-studded World XI shortlist, but four players from crisis club Barcelona have made the cut.

FIFA announced their 23-man squad of the world's best players on Tuesday, with Chelsea leading the way in terms of Premier League representation.

The Blues, as well as Barcelona and PSG, have four players in the squad, but there is no place for Liverpool superstar Salah despite his incredible year on the pitch.

The squad is voted for by the players themselves, and a massive 10 of the 23 named are currently plying their trade in the English top flight.
