Neymar remains sidelined with a calf injury but has reverted to a mohawk ahead of the World Cup, a look he wore at previous tournaments, according to Coluna Do Fla. The Santos forward has freshened his style while he continues rehabilitation.

His long-time hairstylist, Tenório Wagner, marked 13 years working with him, reflecting on evolution, visual changes, big moments and trust. He highlighted work done with seriousness, professionalism and passion for detail, and wished Neymar protection, strength and a push for a sixth title.

Neymar is still recovering from the muscle issue in his calf. He is expected to resume on-field training this week, which would bring him closer to pulling on the Brazil shirt again.

Without Neymar, Brazil face Morocco on Saturday 13 in the first round of the World Cup group stage.

The match is scheduled to start at 19:00 Brasília time, with coverage on Rede Globo free-to-air, on pay-TV channel SporTV, and on CazéTV via YouTube.
