Chelsea woes will deepen as the club is set to miss new signing Nicolas Jackson from the lineup in their next Premier League game due to suspension.
Jackson was booked for dissent against Aston Villa on September 24, 2023, which was his fifth yellow card of the season. This means that he will serve a one-match suspension, and will miss Chelsea’s next game against Fulham on October 1, 2023.
All of Jackson’s yellow cards this season have been for dissent, which is a concern for Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino. Jackson is a talented young player, but he needs to learn to control his emotions on the pitch.
His absence from the Blues’ will be further blow to the club’s deepening crisis that has seen them slump to 14th on the table after six Premier League games.
