Chelsea Block Nicolas Jackson’s Loan Move to Bayern Following Delap Injury
This decision comes in the wake of an injury to Liam Delap, the club’s number nine, which is expected to sideline the young England forward for approximately six to eight weeks.
Chelsea have officially halted striker Nicolas Jackson’s proposed loan switch to Bayern Munich, opting instead to retain the Senegalese international at Stamford Bridge.
This decision comes in the wake of an injury to Liam Delap, the club’s number nine, which is expected to sideline the young England forward for approximately six to eight weeks. The injury occurred during Chelsea’s 2-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday at Stamford Bridge.
According to football transfer expert David Ornstein, who cited The Athletic, the Premier League side has informed the Bundesliga outfit that Jackson will no longer be made available for the move.
Prior to Delap’s setback, Jackson had been on the verge of joining Bayern Munich, with both clubs reportedly finalizing a deal worth £13 million on Saturday.
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca had previously acknowledged that the team would face a shortage of options up front in light of Delap’s injury. He also admitted the club would need to act swiftly to address the situation.
