German club unable to revive loan deal for strikerJackson had remained in Munich in hopes of moveNicolas Jackson has been left frustrated after Bayern Munich called off their attempt to revive a deal to sign the striker on loan from Chelsea. Jackson is due to return to London but is understood to be disappointed with how the situation has played out. Enzo Maresca, the Chelsea head coach, may face a challenge to lift the forward’s spirits when he rejoins the squad after the international break.It had seemed Jackson was set for a new challenge when he was given permission to fly to Munich on Saturday after Bayern reached an agreement on a loan with an option to buy for €65m (£56m).

Perhaps the biggest insult for Fulham was that the first half was still going on when Chelsea finally broke through. They were into the ninth minute of added time when Enzo Fernández delivered a corner, João Pedro leapt to score and Marco Silva was forced to accept that the footballing Gods were not on his side, but this is where the game is these days.
