FC Sheriff’s Traore shortlisted for Champions League Goal of the Week

The Mali international could be rewarded for his imperious effort in his side’s victory against the Ukrainian Premier League side

Adama Traore's strike for FC Sheriff in their 2-0 win against Shakhtar Donetsk in Wednesday’s Champions League game has been nominated for the Goal of the Week award.

He will slug it out with Manchester City’s Jack Grealish, Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson and AC Milan’s Ante Rebic.

The Mali international opened the scoring for Yuriy Vernydub’s men in the encounter at the Sheriff Stadium, with the 26-year-old turning in an audacious strike.
