Nicolas Jackson is injured until April, reports Matt Law.

The striker missed last week’s trip to Brighton in the FA Cup and the club had been hopeful he would return for this week’s meeting.

However after a scan on Wednesday, Jackson will be out until April at the earliest with hamstring damage.

Chelsea are in a striker crisis now, with Marc Guiu also set to miss at least one month.

Chelsea’s only options up front are Christopher Nkunku or Cole Palmer.
