Why Nicolas Jackson can play for Bayern Munich against Chelsea as parent club run risk of Champions League loan rules
Even with Jackson eligible, few expect him to start against Chelsea. Bayern’s attack is brimming with star quality: Harry Kane is in unstoppable form, Michael Olise adds flair and invention, Luis Díaz brings relentless pace, and Serge Gnabry remains a proven finisher. Breaking into that line-up won’t be straightforward, but Jackson offers a different profile. Kompany could well turn to him from the bench if the match calls for fresh legs or a wildcard option to trouble Chelsea’s backline.
