Nicolas Jackson missing as Mauricio Pochettino release full squad for Fulham clash

Chelsea coach, Mauricio Pochettino will play the London derby without striker Nicolas Jackson.

Jackson misses out on the tie after picking up five yellow cards in his opening six appearances for the Blues, which inevitably leads to a one-match suspension.

The absence of the Senegal forward will be felt by the Blues as he has been the only source of goal for the team this season as they continue to struggle in front of goal.

His absence leaves Chelsea with no recognized striker as they face Marco Silva’s side, who sit three places above them on the log in 12th place.

In midfield, Moises Caicedo was seen hobbling towards the end of the Carabao Cup clash against Brighton, but he still makes the match-day squad traveling to Craven Cottage.

Here is the full list of players Pochettino can choose from on Monday:

Goalkeepers: Rob Sanchez, Djorde Petrovic.

Defenders: Axel Disasi, Thiago Silva, Levi Colwill, Marc Cucurella, Ian Maatsen, Alfie Gilchrist, Josh Brooking.

Midfielders: Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Conor Gallagher, Lesley Ugochukwu, Carney Chukwuemeka.

Attackers: Raheem Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk, Deivid Washington, Armando Broja, Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke.
