Real Madrid's Beckham unveils new barnet for Bilbao clash

Real Madrid midfielder David Beckham will be sporting a new barnet when he returns to Fabio Capello's starting XI for their clash with Athletic Bilbao.

It will be Beckham's first start since he broke down against Getafe almost two months ago and to celebrate will be playing with a new bleached look - much to the amusement of teammates!

The midfielder trained yesterday wearing a woolen hat to throw local media off the scent, but couldn't avoid teammates Robinho, Antonio Cassano and Mahamadou Diarra attempting to unveil the big secret as they routinely made a grab for his hat.

Eventually, at the end of the training session, Becks was snapped by local photographers with his new bleached look. "You're the new Canizares!" laughed one teammate.
