Is it permissible for Nicolas Jackson to represent Bayern Munich against Chelsea on the pitch?
On Wednesday, September 17, football fans are in for a treat as Bayern Munich take on Chelsea in the Champions League. The match will be broadcast on TNT Sports 2, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm BST.
The game has an added layer of intrigue with the involvement of Nicolas Jackson, who has recently joined Bayern Munich on loan from Chelsea. Jackson, a striker, made his debut for Bayern at the weekend, but it remains uncertain whether he will start against his former club.
Chelsea have had a strong start to their Premier League campaign, remaining unbeaten with two wins and two draws from their opening four games. Enzo Maresca, the Chelsea manager, has strengthened their striking options during the summer transfer window, with the arrivals of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have a purchase option for Jackson from Chelsea, which becomes mandatory if he makes 40 starts for Bayern. However, reaching this milestone is considered highly unlikely due to the intense competition and other factors such as the Africa Cup of Nations. If the situation were to arise, Bayern would have to pay £56.2m for the striker.
Despite his uncertain status for the match, Jackson's potential involvement has sparked excitement among Bayern fans. Bayern manager Vincent Kompany hinted that the game against Chelsea could be a special one for Jackson, adding to the anticipation surrounding the clash.
For those without access to TNT Sports 2, alternatives are available. TNT customers can live stream the match via the discovery+ app/website, or fans can follow SunSport's live blog for minute-by-minute coverage of the clash.
As the question on everyone's lips is whether or not Nicolas Jackson can come back to haunt Chelsea tonight, fans are eagerly awaiting the team announcements. Bayern's manager, Vincent Kompany, may reveal the team tomorrow, adding to the suspense ahead of the highly anticipated Champions League encounter.
