Bayern Munich face RB Leipzig in the German Cup quarter final tonight, a great chance for Chelsea loanee Nicolas Jackson to make an impact, right?
Wrong. The latest reporting from Germany is that the striker won’t even be included in the Bavarian giants’ squad for tonight’s game, as he continues his slide from relevance in the team.
Jackson to be left out of Germany squad

Vincent Kompany said in his press conference that, now he has a fully fit squad, he will have to start leaving players out. And Jackson, for all his quality, is hardly going to keep a fit again Jamal Musiala out of the squad, let’s face it.
Philipp Kessler reports for Merkur that “the 24-year-old has yet to make a case for a permanent transfer” and that “the Senegalese player will have to watch Wednesday evening’s DFB Cup quarter-final against RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena from the sidelines.”
Jackson will get more chances before the season is out. But it’s now crystal clear that Bayern won’t be buying him. It’s time to think about what we want to do with him when the summer comes. Will a new manager mean a fresh start for the Senegal star? Or will he be just as keen for a move with Rosenior in charge.
In other news…
It was an ugly night for Moises Caicedo, who has had an incredibly good season. His stats last night were pretty rough compared to his usual high standards.
Liam Rosenior has been speaking about his team’s progress in his first month in charge, and he was pretty bullish about the whole thing, claiming that there has been clear progress under him despite a minimal time on the training pitch.
