Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson received a suspension of two games after his dismissal during the defeat of the Blues World Cup against Flamengo.
Jackson saw red during the 3-1 defeat of Chelsea to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on June 20, as a second half substitute before receiving his walking orders for an imprudent challenge and nails on Ayrton Lucas de Flamengo.

He marked his second shipment in four appearances, adding a more in -depth examination in the future of the attacker under Enzo Maresca, in particular after having signed Liam Delap.
FIFA published a statement saying: “The FIFA disciplinary committee imposed the following sanction on the Chelsea player, Nicolas Jackson, who was sent following a direct red card during the FIFA World Cup match 2025 between his team and CR Flamengo in Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, June 20, 2025.
“Suspension of 2 games for violation under article 14 paragraph 1 e) of the FIFA disciplinary code. This decision is final and restrictive and cannot be invoked. ”
The prohibition means that Jackson will miss the next Chelsea confrontation against ES Tunis on Wednesday morning, and the next potential match if the blues is progressing.

A defeat in this match would eliminate the Premier League team from the tournament.
In the aftermath of the incident, Jackson went to social networks to apologize.
He said, “I mean sorry. At the club, the staff, my teammates and all the fans who look, I let you down.
“Another red card … and honestly, I’m so angry with myself. I work very hard every day to help the team not put us in this kind of situation.
“I still don’t completely understand how it happened. But one thing is clear: it was not intentional. Just a moment of football that happened in the wrong direction.
“No excuses. I take full responsibility. I will think, I will grow up and I will come back stronger for the badge and for all those who believe in me. Sorry.” Sorry. “
This is not Jackson’s first disciplinary flash point in recent weeks. His previous red card also haussed the eyebrows, and now questions are asked about his temperament and his ability to manage his aggression in high issues.
Blues now need a victory to avoid an early outing, Maresca must find a way to compete without the front.
Cole Palmer, who was also criticized for incoherent performances during the tournament, could now carry even greater creative responsibility in the last third and Delap will probably be launched in the end.
