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.
