Egypt midfielder Mohamed Elneny has cut off his dreads before the commencement of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).
Since his arrival at Arsenal in January 2016, the 26-year-old has been known for always having the dreadlocks hairstyle.
On Tuesday, Elneny revealed his new look without his dreadlocks while he enjoyed the Eid-al Fitr holiday. The African star will soon join Egypt's training camp.
'Switching off before the next big thing: Afcon 2019. And yes, you have seen it right, no more hair," Elneny captioned the picture.
Elneny will be hoping to have a great tournament with the Pharaohs on home soil after a season where the Gunners failed to win a trophy.
Earlier this year, his compatriot and 2018-19 Uefa Champions League winner Mohamed Salah shaved off his trademark beard for a clean and fresh look.
Egypt are the hosts of this year's Afcon and they are up against DR Congo, Uganda and Zimbabwe in Group A of the showpiece.
Their opening game is against Zimbabwe at the Cairo International Stadium on June 21.
