Nicolas Jackson, Chelsea’s promising striker, is currently dealing with an injury that has sparked concern among fans. The 23-year-old Senegalese forward has been an important figure for the Blues since joining from Villarreal in 2023. However, his progress has been hampered by injuries, including a recent setback during the 2024/25 season【8†source】【9†source】.
Jackson had a productive debut season with Chelsea, scoring 17 goals in all competitions and securing a contract extension until 2033. His explosive pace and ability to create chances have been praised, though his finishing has been inconsistent. Former Chelsea player Pat Nevin noted that Jackson has been improving, especially in his positioning and ability to take advantage of opportunities【10†source】.
