Chelsea are set to be without Nicolas Jackson for the Premier League run-in after the Senegalese striker was sent off in Sunday’s 2-0 loss at St James’ Park.
He was shown the red card after needlessly clattering into Sven Botman, leading with his forearm and connecting with the centre-back’s jaw. Referee John Brooks initially awarded a yellow card, but upgraded his decision to a straight red after checking the VAR monitor.
