Liverpool duo touch down for CAF Awards

Liverpool teammates Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah have touched down in Accra for the 26th CAF Awards.

The two are the leading contenders for this year’s awards.

The third shortlisted nominee is reigning king Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of Gabon and Dortmund.

Addressing journalists in Accra, the Reds teammates quashed reports of rivalry between them.

Top favourite Egyptian Salah says Mane, the Teranga Lions captain, has been of tremendous help to him since joining the Merseysiders from AS Roma.

He said they get along so well.

The winner will be announced Thursday night at a ceremony to be held at the Accra International Conference Center.

The Liverpool duo will travel back Thursday night for an FA Cup game against Everton on Friday.
