Maresca said: Jackson won t participate! Chelsea striker is refrigerated

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca issued an order to expel the striker Nicholas Jackson in a recent interview with extremely straightforward and even slightly ruthless remarks almost openly.

I will not use him again. Against the busy summer window signing, Jackson's future has always been an open topic. Now, Maresca gives the clearest answer.

Remarks 1: "Jackson is still training in Chelsea's first team, but I will not let him participate in the next game."

Remarks 2: When asked whether he would introduce a new central defender, Maresca listed the team's offensive candidates. After mentioning all the new players such as Pedro and Drapp, he added lightly: "Nicolas Jackson is still here."

These two remarks undoubtedly excluded the Senegalese striker from the team's plan. The fall of favor from the club's victim, originated from the club's heavy investment in the front line this summer. With the strong joining of Joao Pedro and Liam Delapp, the 24-year-old Senegal international has become the team's third choice.

After the head coach issued the order to expel the guest, Jackson's departure in the last two weeks of the summer window seemed to be a foregone conclusion. The only question is whether Chelsea can find a suitable next home for him who is willing to take over, considering his six-year contract.
