Matthäus Questions Jackson’s Bayern Fit After Quiet League Start

The record international cites limited minutes plus concerns over Jackson’s passing sharpness.

Overview

  • Bayern took Nicolas Jackson on loan from Chelsea for a reported €16.5 million with a €65 million purchase option.
  • So far he has four starts and no Bundesliga goal, with two strikes coming in the Champions League against Pafos and Club Brugge.
  • Lothar Matthäus said Jackson has looked like a “foreign body” and not crisp enough in Bayern’s quick passing game.
  • Matthäus believes the 24-year-old needs steady minutes to build confidence, warning that Jamal Musiala’s return could further limit his time.
  • Jackson says he learns every day from Harry Kane and feels comfortable in Munich, noting efforts to integrate and learn German.
