On-Loan Nicolas Jackson free to be confronted with Chelsea in Champions League collision
According to UEFA’s statement on the integrity of competitions’ clubs that play in their three games cannot insert clauses that prevent their own players from seeing them in European matches.

Although it is unlikely to start in Munich on Wednesday, Jackson could act against Chelsea and would like to prove a point.
