Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson has encountered an injury setback while representing Senegal on international duty. The 22-year-old, who had a successful debut season at Stamford Bridge, scoring 17 goals in 44 appearances, picked up an ankle injury during a World Cup qualifier match against DR Congo. Although he was forced to sit out the second game against Mauritania, Jackson’s injury severity remains unknown and will be reassessed later in the summer.
Despite the injury setback, Jackson showed his charitable side by donating clothes and boots to local kids in Ziguinchor, Senegal from his first season at Chelsea. As he prepares to return to Chelsea for pre-season, he will have to make an impression on new manager Enzo Maresca, who recently took over from Mauricio Pochettino.
Maresca, who expressed his excitement at joining Chelsea, is determined to build on the team’s recent successes and bring further accomplishments to the club. With Chelsea finishing the 2023/24 Premier League season strongly, there is optimism for the future under Maresca’s leadership.
