Chelsea Manager Enzo Maresca broke down in tears as another Key Chelsea player Who was supposed to be the main man For Chelsea Squad goes off injured during World cup qualifiers gam
Nicolas Jackson, a striker for Chelsea, had an ankle injury while playing for Senegal on the international stage.
In the last moments of Senegal’s 1-1 tie with DR Congo in their World Cup qualifying match on Thursday, the 22-year-old was substituted out.
Sunday night is Senegal’s next World Cup qualifier against Mauritania. However, the medical staff has verified that Jackson will not be playing in the match.
Jackson sustained damage to his right ankle, and an MRI revealed to Senegal’s medical staff that the attacker had a “severe sprain.”
The Chelsea striker will now recuperate in order to be ready for the start of preseason training in July.
On July 24, Enzo Maresca’s team will play Wrexham in California to begin their US trip. In addition, they’ll play Real Madrid, Manchester City, Club America, and Celtic.
Jackson received flak for his inconsistent play as he concluded his debut season at Chelsea with 17 goals across all competitions.

Jackson received recognition, meanwhile, for his energetic Premier League performances after joining from Villarreal for ÂŁ31.8 million last summer.
“I may not be in the majority here, but I like Nicolas Jackson,” In April, Gary Neville stated on The Gary Neville Podcast on Sky Sports.
He’s a young player, and I think he has a lot to offer. Although it is his first full season in the Premier League, he hasn’t exactly cost a lot of money, yet he continues to score goals. There’s much to support that.
Even while he might not be your top scorer, you would say “I’ll take that” if he were your number two or three in a roster of 18 to 20. In my opinion, Chelsea’s performance versus Manchester City in the FA Cup semifinal was incredible. Excellent, truly excellent.
“And they would have won the game without a doubt if they had a forward who could finish more regularly than Nicolas Jackson, and I believe Chelsea’s owners should be looking at that.”
