Nicolas Jackson travelled to Germany to complete a loan to Bayern Munich, with an option to make the move permanent for £56million. Chelsea initially reversed the agreement after Liam Delap suffered a hamstring injury in the win over Fulham, prompting interest in recalling Jackson. Chelsea also asked about bringing Marc Guiu back from his Sunderland loan and were reportedly willing to pay Sunderland to cancel the arrangement. Bayern's director Max Eberl said Chelsea informed them they wanted the player back and that Jackson was in Munich and had to be sent back. If Jackson joins, he would act principally as backup to Harry Kane.
Chelsea have informed us that they want the player back after we reached an agreement yesterday and [permission] to conduct a medical. Now the situation is that the boy is in Munich and we have to send him back. That's the current state of affairs, but I can't look into the future.
Liam's injury doesn't look good. He was full speed, hamstring, so that requires weeks. When you have two strikers it's enough. When one of them is injured for weeks, probably it's not enough. Today we played more than an hour with Tyrique [George], he did brilliant. When you have two proper nines, it's enough.
The plane doesn't go backwards... Munich.
