Fight for five huge blows! Telegraph: Jackson s reckless elbow may cost Chelsea 100 million pounds

05, May 12th News: Chelsea lost to Newcastle 0-2 yesterday. Jackson elbowed Botman in the first half and was then sent off by the referee's red card. Chelsea lost in this key battle for five and fell to fifth.

British media Daily Telegraph reporter Jason Burt wrote an article saying that Jackson's reckless foul could cost Chelsea 100 million pounds.

reporters said that Jackson will be suspended for three games, which forced Maresca to consider whether to use Jiwu and Nkunku in the remaining two rounds of the game, or let players such as Neto and Palmer play guest appearances. Regardless, Chelsea should introduce a reliable center this summer. And this is also surprising. Chelsea spent so much money and bought so many people, and the team still does not have a reliable center.

If Chelsea ultimately missed the Champions League, this will make it more difficult for the team to sign, and Chelsea will also lose 100 million pounds of revenue. They may be able to win the UEFA Champions League, but this is obviously not a big comfort for such an ambitious team.
