LONDON (AP) — Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson’s proposed loan move to Bayern Munich has been thrown into doubt at the last minute.
Video footage showed the Senegal striker arriving in Munich on Saturday, reportedly to complete the switch to Bayern after falling out of favor at Chelsea.
However, reports in the British media said Chelsea has pulled out of the deal because of an injury to Liam Delap early in the team’s 2-0 win over Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday. Delap is one of two senior strikers in Chelsea’s squad, along with Joao Pedro.
Chelsea didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Max Eberl, Bayern’s board member for sport, said before the team’s match at Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday that the club will “take our time dealing with it after the game.”
