Wayne Rooney posts slightly disturbing picture of his hair transplant on Twitter

There's often a dearth of exciting football news during the off-season, but Wayne Rooney is on a one-man mission to keep fans sated with up-to-the-minute updates on his recent hair transplant.

Footballer Wayne Rooney has confirmed he has had a hair transplant at a top London clinic in a bid to restore his receding locks to their former glory. The Manchester United striker said he had his treatment at a hair clinic on London's famous Harley Street. He also asked his followers if anyone could recommend any good hair gel because his head was "still a bit bruised and swollen".
