Chelsea Blocks Nicolas Jackson Bayern Loan After Delap Injury

The proposed loan transfer of Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson to Bayern Munich has stalled after Chelsea decided to block the move following an injury to fellow striker Liam Delap. Jackson, who had already traveled to Munich for a medical, and his agent remain in Germany attempting to persuade Chelsea to reconsider, while Bayern continue to push for the deal. Chelsea's decision came shortly after Delap's hamstring injury during a match against Fulham, prompting the club to prioritize maintaining attacking depth. Bayern director Max Eberl confirmed Chelsea's recall of Jackson, but discussions are ongoing, with hopes to find a resolution before the transfer deadline. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca expressed uncertainty about the situation and emphasized the challenges the team faces due to Delap's injury. The situation has created a tense transfer saga with Jackson eager to move, but his immediate future remains uncertain as Chelsea weigh their squad needs.
