With Premier League clubs returning to training this week ahead of the planned restart in June, many fans are excited about the prospect of football resuming soon in England.
However, it’s not the actual football that’s dominating talk on social media at the moment.
Liverpool’s Sadio Mane and Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante have pretty well-defined features and have almost always topped them off with pretty great low haircuts; in Kante’s case, extremely.
It appears, however, that following the long break both players have had things other than a regular trip to the barber on their minds.
Chelsea returned to training on Tuesday with Kante trotting out with the other players.
When fans caught a glimpse of his new looks they went crazy on social media.
Many of them, who have not seen Kante with that much hair expressed their shock, while others saw the funny side of it.

Liverpool also returned to training this week and forward Sadio Mane was all smiles as he showed off his new look.
As with Kante, fans were more than a little surprised but took it in good stride.

Yes Sadio Mane’s hair line has gone back, but at least it looks better than Arsenal’s back line. pic.twitter.com/O6zDrI3a9C

Inter Milan’s Ashley Young is another player who’s head of hair has come as a surprise to many fans.
Young has always opted for a low cut since his days at Aston Villa but it appears he’ll be restarting the Serie A season differently.
