  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Delap was forced off with what looked like a hamstring injury inside the opening 15 minutes of Chelsea's home clash with London rivals Fulham on Saturday. That left the Blues with Joao Pedro as their sole senior striker. The lack of depth in the No.9 role quickly prompted them to block Jackson's transfer, who was on his way to join Bayern Munich.

Bayern director Max Eberl, however, is hopeful that they will be able to revive the transfer before the window closes on Monday.
