US EditionNicolas Jackson's Proposed Loan Move to Bayern From Chelsea Thrown Into Doubt
Chelsea recalled Nicolas Jackson after striker Liam Delap's hamstring injury sidelined him for six to eight weeks, forcing Chelsea to keep Jackson as their attacking options are limited.
- Chelsea blocked Nicolas Jackson's loan move to Bayern Munich on August 30, 2025, after Liam Delap suffered a hamstring injury.
- The decision followed a 2-0 Premier League win over Fulham in which Delap limped off early and is expected to be sidelined for up to two months.
- Jackson had already flown to Munich for a medical while Bayern and Chelsea had initially agreed on a €15 million loan with a €65 million purchase option.

- As a result, Chelsea retained Jackson despite his frustration and planned to avoid re-signing a striker before the summer transfer deadline, relying on Joao Pedro as the other fit senior striker.
