Salah hugs Alessia Russo as Premier League stars pack red carpet for PFA Awards

MO SALAH and Alessia Russo shared a hug on the red carpet at the PFA Awards.

The Liverpool star is set to be crowned the PFA Men's Player of the Year.

He is one of six players nominated for the award, along with Bruno Fernandes, Alexander Isak, Cole Palmer, Declan Rice and Alexis Mac Allister.

Salah looked stylish on the red carpet in a dark suit and he stopped for an embrace with Arsenal and England Women's star Russo, who is up for the Women's PFA Player of the Year.

Russo stunned in a low-cut, ankle-length green dress and had posed for photos before bumping into Salah.

The striker was crowned European champion and club and international level this year, and proved a popular figure on the red carpet.

She was joined on a star-studded carpet by the best players the Premier League and WSL has to offer.

Five other players were nominated for the Women's PFA Player of the Year - Mariona Caldentey, Erin Cuthbert, Mary Fowler, Yui Hasegawa and Phallon Tullis-Joyce.
