Nicholas Jackson shocks Chelsea!

Chelsea have been dealt a major blow with Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson suffering a hamstring injury that will keep him out until April. Manager Enzo Maresca initially suggested the injury was not serious, with the player expected to return for Friday's Premier League clash with Brighton. However, scans have shown the injury is more serious than expected, meaning Jackson will be out for up to two months. Jackson, 23, has scored nine goals and provided five assists in the Premier League this season, making him a key member of Chelsea's squad. In his absence, Maresca relied on French striker Christopher Nkunku up front in the team's recent 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Brighton. Maresca is expected to provide an official update on Jackson's condition during his press conference on Thursday. Chelsea face a major challenge in compensating for the absence of their main striker over the coming period, especially with crucial Premier League matches approaching.
