Jackson Saw Red in Chelsea’s 3-1 Loss At Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on June 20, Coming on a second-half BEFORE RECEIVING HOLHING ORDERS FOR A RECKless, Studs-Up Challenge on Flamengo’s Ayrton Lucas.
It marked His Second Sending-Off in Just Four Appearances, Adding Further Votes to the Forward’s Future Under Enzo Maresca, Particularly After Signing Liam Delap.
FIFA Released A Stament Saying: “The Fifa Disciplinary Committee has imposed the following sanction on chelsea’s player Nicolas Jackson who was off as a result of a direct red card during the fifa club world cup 2025 Between His Team and Cr Flamengo Field, Philadelphia, Philadelphia On June 20, 2025.

A Defeat in That Fixture Would Eliminate The Premier League Side from the Tournament.
In the aftermath of the incident, Jackson Took to Social Media to Issue An Apology.
He Said: “I want to say sorry. To the club, the staff, My Team-Mates, and All the Fans Watching, I Let You Down.
“Another Red Card… and Honestly, i’m so angry at myyself. I work very hard every day to help the team not to put us in this kind of situation.
“I Still Don Fully Understand How It Happened. But one thing is clear: It was intentional. Just A Football Moment That Went the Wrong Way.
“No excuses. I Take Full Responsibility. I’ll reflect, i’ll grow, and i’ll come back strongger for the badge and for Everyone who Believes in Me. Sorry. Sorry.”
This isn’t jackson’s first disciplinary flashpoint in recent week. His Previous Red Card also Raised Eyebrows, and now Questions Are Being Asked about His Templerament and Ability to Manage His Aggression in High-Stakes Moments.
With the Blues Now Needing A Victory to Avoid An Early Exit, Maresca Must Find a Way to Compet Without the Forward.
Cole Palmer, who has also come under criticism for inconsistent performances During the tournament, May now Carry Even Great Creative Responsibility in the Final Third and Delap Will Likely Be Thrown in the Deep End.
