Nicolas Jackson will be banned for Chelsea's next match after picking up his fifth booking in six games.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old striker saw yellow against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge on Sunday (September 24). Australian referee Jarred Gillett brandished the card for dissent – which is shockingly what all of Jackson's other yellows have been for.<\/p>\n
The only Premier League game he hasn't been booked in this season was the 3-0 win against Luton Town last month, in which he scored his solitary Blues goal to date. And he'll now be suspended for their trip to local rivals Fulham next week.<\/p>\n

After the second-half sending off, Ollie Watkins scored the only goal of the game to condemn Chelsea to the third league defeat.<\/p>\n Blues boss Pochettino said his players need to "grow up" as he vented post-match. He told reporters: \u201cWe were talking, we need to grow up like a team. Nico is young and is feeling the Premier League.<\/p>\n What have you made of Jackson's start to life in the Prem? Let us know in the comments section below<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n "Football is about winning but players when they are young need to learn. That is why we feel disappointed. We have too many situations like this.\u201d<\/p>\n Pochettino will have been especially disappointed given he'd even warned Jackson about his behaviour towards referee heading into the match.<\/p>\n He'd said earlier in the week: \u201cI talked to him today. We were talking about that. We had a meeting with him and Enzo [Fernandez]. I said \u2018come on, for a striker to have four yellow cards, to protest\u2026to talk with the referee.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cYou need to get some yellow cards for different actions not because of that. It\u2019s so easy, so cheap. I think he could put the team in a really difficult situation [if it continues]. He understood.<\/p>\n \u201cBut 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
