Carragher discussed Salah's Ballon d'Or prospects over the weekend as the Egyptian helped move Liverpool one step closer to the Premier League title.

Salah scored one and set up a second as Arne Slot's side won 2-0 at Manchester City to move 11 points clear of closest challengers Arsenal, albeit having played a game more.

"I think the problem (is) the fact he's with Egypt, and he's probably not playing in the major tournament as such, or maybe got a great chance of winning," former Liverpool defender Carragher said on Sky Sports.

Unforgivable ignorance," Keys wrote on his blog when addressing suggestions Salah has never been in the running for a major tournament.

Salah helped Egypt qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations without losing a game.

Micah Richards and Daniel Sturridge were sat with Carragher in the Sky Sports studio and spoke up amid fans' annoyance on social media.

"Just to say, AFCON is a major tournament because a lot of people are at home saying 'they aren't taking it serious'," Richards said, before pointing to the battle between Salah and former team-mate Sadio Mane when Senegal pipped Egypt in 2021.
