Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino revealed he has warned striker Nicolas Jackson about his ill-discipline. The summer signing has already received four yellow cards for dissent this season and now risks a one-match ban just five games into the Premier League campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jackson has received bookings in all but one of Chelsea\u2019s fixtures so far this season. Intriguingly, all of them have been for showing dissent towards the referee rather than for fouls.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pochettino has said that he warned the 22-year-old about his conduct. Jackson will be banned for one match if he receives another yellow card before Chelsea\u2019s 20th game of the Premier League season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Enzo Fernandez was also present in the meeting but it is not clear if he too was warned about his conduct. The Argentine has been booked just twice in the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pochettino said on Friday during his press conference: \u201cI talked to him today. We were talking about that. We had a meeting with him and Enzo.<\/p>\n

You need to get some yellow cards for different actions not because of that. It\u2019s so easy, so cheap.<\/p>\n \u201cI think he could put the team in a really difficult situation (if it continues). He understood. But Jackson is 22, he is young, he needs to learn, to improve. He is going to be a fantastic player, but he needs time.\u201d<\/p>\n Jackson has endured an indifferent start to life at Chelsea\u2019s despite Pochettino backing the \u00a330million arrival from Villarreal to develop into one of the Premier League\u2019s best strikers. He scored his first goal for the club in the Blues\u2019 only league win – a 3-0 demolition of Luton.\u00a0<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

They drew a blank in a stalemate with Bournemouth last weekend despite creating a plethora of chances.\u00a0<\/p>\n The West Londoners have spent \u00a31billion since the Todd Boehly-led takeover was completed in May 2022 but have not clicked up front. \u00a388m January signing Mykhaylo Mudryk is yet to find the net, while Christopher Nkunku was cruelly ruled out for the first half of the season after his move from RB Leipzig.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pochettino\u2019s side host Aston Villa on Sunday hoping to kickstart their Premier League campaign. Chelsea are 14th in the top-flight having won just one of their first five games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
