A Premier League star showed off a fresh new look as he posted an injury update to social media on Tuesday.
Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic, 31, has been absent for most of the season with a series of troubling injuries, recording a mere four minutes of action in the Premier League so far.
The Champions League winner, who underwent an operation on his achilles ahead of the Club World Cup last summer, featured off the bench against Everton and Villarreal in October before suffering another disappointing setback.
