Nicolas Jackson's proposed loan to Bayern Munich has been cancelled after Liam Delap suffered a hamstring injury in Fulham's win, with manager Enzo Maresca estimating around eight weeks out. Chelsea had agreed a loan with Bayern potentially worth up to £69.2m plus a further £56.2m option to buy and a sell-on fee. Jackson had been given permission to travel to Bavaria before the move was halted. Jackson previously sought to explore transfer options and missed Chelsea's pre-season and opening Premier League matches. Chelsea are expected to retain Jackson to cover Delap's absence and sustain their strong start after the international break.
Nicolas Jackson's proposed loan move to Bayern Munich is now reportedly off following Liam Delap's recent injury. Delap picked up a hamstring injury in Saturday's win over Fulham, with boss Enzo Maresca confirming afterwards that the striker is likely to be out of action for around eight weeks. The Blues had agreed a loan deal with Bayern potentially worth up to £69.2million (€80m) for Jackson, who was given given permission to fly to Bavaria to complete his transfer.
'When you have two strikers it is enough, when one of them is injured for weeks it is not enough,' Enzo Maresca said at full time on Saturday. 'Today we played for more than one hour with Tyrique and he did brilliant. 'The last time he played as a No 9 was against Manchester United last year. We tried to use different solutions.
