On Thursday (17), the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) revealed the nominees for the 22/23 season awards. Six players are in the running for the highly coveted 'Mr. England Player' award, with Manchester City's Aicha Rashford, Kieron Dibny and Stones all on the list. However, the absence of Spanish midfielder Lodi Cas Gendi has sparked widespread controversy, with many netizens saying it was "unconscionable".
"The Mr. England Player award, which is voted for by players at all levels, is now in its 50th year. However, the absence of Lodi Kas Ghandi has upset many fans, who have taken to social media to voice their criticism: "Lodi didn't make the cut, but Shaka and Odigat were not nominated? Isn't that corruption?" "Either add another candidate or eliminate one at random and leave the spot for Lodi." Aside from City's big three, the other three candidates are Bukayo Shaka, Martin Odigat and Harry Carney, who has moved to Bayern Munich.
