JESE RODRIGUEZ has paid an emotional tribute to his sick baby son by having his initials shaved into his head.
The Stoke City striker and his partner, model Aurah Ruiz, are currently at baby Nyan's bedside at a hospital in Gran Canaria.
Nyan was prematurely born at the end of June and is believed to be fighting for his life.
Jese has been regularly travelling back to see Nyan, his third child and first with girlfriend Aurah Ruiz.
Owing to his premature birth, there had been some complications.
Jese, who is on loan with the Potters from Paris Saint-Germain, shared a video on Instagram showing off his new haircut.
The initial "N" is at the back of his head, with lines coming out of the letter and around to the front.
Alongside the video Jese wrote "Nyan, my warrior".
It is not the first time the 24-year-old Spaniard has updated people on his son's fight for life on social media.
Last month Jese, who scored the winner against Arsenal and impressed in the draws with West Brom and Manchester United, posted a heartfelt message to his son and girlfriend.
Posting a picture with Nyan in his arms, he wrote in Spanish: "If the world thinks you are not good enough, it is a LIE.
"You are the best thing that has happened to me.
"Every day at your side I learn from you, your strength, your desire, your attitude of not giving up, your tenderness, your seriousness for how small you are, your way of suffering and little by little you are going ahead.
"In short, many things that fill my heart within the bad of the situation, still you will always give me happiness, thanks NYAN👶❤️.
"I'm going to run more, to score many goals and everything that a father can do only to see his children at home without stopping to smile.
"I will do that and more my WARRIOR. Always with you. Everything will be fine, and I will always be by your side ❤️.
"Thanks to my baby Aurah Ruiz for being so brave with everything you are going through, I will always follow with you 😍👪.
"I love you very much always in my heart, whatever happens.
"Being a mum for the first time is difficult but I promise that I will not fail you and I will be in all with you and my children ❤️."
