apologize for his red card against Newcastle.
The Senegalese forward was dismissed during the first half of Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat at St James’ Park after VAR flagged an incident in which he elbowed Sven Botman.
According to The Sun, the club has decided not to take any disciplinary action against the 23-year-old, acknowledging that such situations are part of the game.
Jackson has not expressed regret to his teammates over the red card but is instead focused on making amends by delivering a strong performance in the upcoming Conference League final.
His suspension means he will miss Chelsea’s remaining Premier League fixtures against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, a setback in their bid for Champions League qualification next season.
Chelsea will play United on Friday before wrapping up their league campaign with a match against Forest.
Jackson is set to return on May 28 when Chelsea faces Real Betis in the Conference League final.
