Chelsea have informed Nicolas Jackson that he must return to the club and his loan with Bayern Munich is cancelled.

The decision was made yesterday after the injury to Liam Delap in the match vs Fulham.

Delap could be out for as much as 3 months, following scans in the next 48 hours.

However, Jackson and his entourage do not want to return and stayed in Munich overnight on Saturday in hope that Bayern Munich sign him permanently, instead of the initial agreed loan.

If Bayern proceed with a permanent deal, Chelsea will look to replace Jackson, and Sporting striker Conrad Harder is on the list of potential replacements, according to David Ornstein.

Harder is only 20 years old and was the backup to Gyokeres last season, scoring 6 goals.

This is a developing story and clarity will be sought soon, with Chelsea hoping Jackson returns.
