Milan ace Ronaldinho is keen to impress in the derby, in fact so much so that he has taken time off to have a new haircut, so he looks his best during Sunday's showdown clash with Inter.

The Brazilian, who was in hot form against Italy on Tuesday, is likely to regain his place in the starting XI as Kaka will miss the game through injury.

Ronaldinho was not able to escape the photographers and cameramen who chased him around Milan and into a luxury hair salon.

Sport.es claims the play-maker was a little fussy with his style and the hairdresser worked patiently to ensure the 2002 World Cup winner was happy with his new look.

According to the Spanish publication, Ronaldinho was never previously seen having a new hairstyle done in public and he never went to Manolo Garcia, a hairdresser who is reputedly popular amongst many Blaugrana players.

The talented player then left and went home to show off his new hair to the rest of the family. He is likely to play in the derby and he will be hoping for a repeat performance from the reverse as he was the match-winner on that occasion.

Milan will need Ronaldinho to be in top form against Inter as they are currently eight points behind the league leaders. If the player is not at his best, then he will at least be looking like it with his new chop.
