Chelsea star David Luiz has reportedly had his famous curly hair cut off following his side's defeat to Swansea City.

The 25-year-old has established the nickname 'Sideshow Bob' by some fans due his resemblance to the character from American cartoon The Simpsons.

While the Brazilian has yet to mention whether he has changed his look, the player's mother is believed to have posted photos of the remains of Luiz's hair on Twitter, according to the Daily Mail.

The photos emerged after the Blues lost 2-0 to Swansea at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final.
