Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has explained why he is sporting a distinctive moustache for Brazil at the World Cup in Qatar.
And the Kop hero has shared an important message encouraging men to look after there personal health as the reason behind the striking look.
Supporters of the Reds are used to seeing their number one with a full beard as he continues to excel in-between the sticks for Jurgen Klopp's side, but his facial hair was noticeable by its absence for Liverpool's most recent match against Southampton at Anfield.

Alisson trotted out for Brazil's opening group stage match against Serbia still minus his beard, but with a full moustache, as two Richarlison goals got the samba star's World Cup campaign off to a winning start, but the glovesman has explained his appearance on social media.
Posting on Instagram, accompanied by a video showing him shaving, Alisson wrote: "Speak up, people. I'm very proud to announce that my moustache is part of the #BigodeQueCuida, movement in support of the Blue November campaign! With great responsibility, I'd like to encourage all men to take a stand for their health by going to the doctor and getting regular preventive check-ups.
"Don't waste time and also be part of this movement. Go to the profile @gillette_brasil and click on the filters tab to take a photo with your favourite mustache using #BigodeQueCuida. Remember: in November, every moustache is synonymous with attitude for health."
Alisson did not appear to lose any of his magical goalkeeping powers by doing away with his trademark beard. After keeping a clean sheet while clean shaven against Southampton he was able to register another shut-out as a moustached version of himself against Serbia on Thursday.
Brazil may already have the upper hand in Group G but their goalkeeper will be hoping that he can keep their luck going throughout the World Cup with his upper lip.
