Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has been ruled out until April after sustaining an injury.

According to the UK Telegraph, the Senegal international has damaged his hamstring, as revealed by a scan carried out on Wednesday, February 12.

The 23-year-old is expected to return to action after the next international break on April 2, when the Blues take on Tottenham Hotspur.

This leaves Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca with no striker at the moment, as Marc Guiu is also out with an injury.

Guiu, however, is expected to return to action earlier than Nicolas Jackson.

Jackson will miss the Blues' upcoming clash against Brighton as well as games against Southampton, Leicester City, and Arsenal.

The former Villarreal player is expected to be replaced by Christopher Nkunku.
