The Professional Footballers' Association of England (PFA) announced on Thursday (17th) the shortlist of candidates for the 22/23 season awards. Among the six candidates for the highest honor "Mr. England Player", Manchester City has Einin Chalant, Kiwi Dibny and Stones in the list, but the absence of Spanish midfielder Lodi Kasjandi comes as a surprise, with many netizens saying that Lodi's absence is "unjustified".
Mr. England Player is voted by players at all levels, and this is the 50th year of the event. However, many fans are very upset that Lodi is not included, and they have criticized in their messages: "Lodi is not included, but Shaka and Odegaard, who did not win the championship, are included in the shortlist? Corruption! They also criticized, "If you don't want to add a 7th candidate, just kick out one and let Lodi be selected". Apart from City's 3 sons, the other 3 candidates are Bukayo Saka, Martin Odigat and Halikani who has moved to Bayern Munich.
