This is stated by Ballon d'Or on its official Instagram account.

However, Alexander Isak is missing from the list.

Johanna Rytting Kaneryd had a successful European Championship with Sweden, which reached the quarterfinals, and she became league champion with Chelsea.

Among other nominees on the women's side are, among others, England's Chloe Kelly, Spain's Aitana Bonmatí and Brazil's Marta.

Viktor Gyökeres, in turn, ends up in the company of players like Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé.

The striker, who was recently sold from Sporting to Arsenal, made 54 goals in 52 matches in all competitions last season.

Isak is snubbed despite finishing second in the Premier League's top scorer list.

The Ballon d'Or will be awarded at a gala in Paris on September 22.
