Neymar, 30, has been missing since picking up an ankle injury in his side’s opening match against Serbia.

And evidently he wanted a fresh barnet for his big return.

The Paris Saint-Germain star beamed alongside his barber Nariko after getting his hair cut and dyed blond.

Neymar is well known to be a superstitious player, and he may hope that his haircut brings him good luck.

Last time he faced South Korea was in a friendly in Seoul back in June – during which he sported a similar blond barnet.

In that match he scored twice as his side ran out 5-1 winners.

Ahead of the game, Nariko wished his client good luck – writing on Instagram: “The brabo with a new look for the return, go with everything brother @neymarjr #ousadia May God bless you and our national team novo.”

Quizzed yesterday if Neymar would definitely be fit enough to play, boss Tite simply replied: “Yes.”

He then added: “Neymar will train today in the afternoon and if he trains well he will play.”

At the last World Cup, Brazil’s No10 sported an eye-catching blond perm.

While he showed off a pink barnet while playing for PSG a couple of seasons ago.
