"Chelsea have pulled Nicolas Jackson out of his proposed loan move to Bayern Munich and ordered the striker to return to London, despite the 24-year-old already travelling to Germany for a medical. The decision comes after Liam Delap sustained a hamstring injury in Saturday's 2-0 win over Fulham, with manager Enzo Maresca warning the forward could be sidelined for up to eight weeks."
"It leaves Chelsea suddenly short in attack, with João Pedro - who has scored five goals in five starts - as the club's only fit senior striker. The dramatic turnaround followed a frantic 24 hours in which Christopher Nkunku sealed a £36m move to AC Milan, Jackson flew to Germany to finalise his loan, and Delap limped off early at Stamford Bridge."
Chelsea recalled Nicolas Jackson from a proposed loan to Bayern Munich and ordered him to return to London despite the striker travelling to Germany for a medical. The recall followed Liam Delap sustaining a hamstring injury that manager Enzo Maresca warned could sideline the forward for up to eight weeks. The change leaves Chelsea thin in attack, with João Pedro the only fit senior striker after scoring five goals in five starts. Christopher Nkunku completed a £36m move to AC Milan within 24 hours. Jackson is reported to be frustrated by the collapsed £13m deal, but efforts to revive it could be made. Jackson will now be available for selection ahead of Chelsea's Champions League meeting with Bayern on 17 September.
