lesser-known loophole.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mauricio Pochettino&#8217;s side have made a poor start to the 2023-24 season so far, winning just one game in the Premier League against Luton Town, losing three and drawing the other two.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They take on the Seagulls in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, but had seemed hamstrung by the absence of two key stars, with Jackson picking up his fifth yellow of the season and Malo Gusto shown a red last time out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, Blues fans will be heartened to hear that yellow card suspensions do not actually carry over into the Carabao Cup, meaning that Jackson will be eligible for action.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But it is bad news for Gusto, whose red card will rule him out of contention, after a sending-off in the 1-0 loss to Aston Villa on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

the Blues already under intense pressure at the start of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Without Jackson, the Blues are without an established focal point through the middle, with Christopher Nkunku out injured.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the Senegalese striker in the side, Chelsea have been bereft of goals, last scoring in a 2-1 win in August.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Having spent over \u00a31billion the spotlight has been firmly on Stamford Bridge as a result of their under-whelming start to the season, but Pochettino has called for his youthful side to be given time to improve.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We were talking, we need to grow up like a team, not only in an individual way.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think players like Nico who are so young and feeling the Premier League and is learning, they need time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;In this type of game, we are competing and want to win and football is about winning but also players, when they are young, need to learn, and experience and make mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;That&#8217;s why we feel disappointed as there are too many situations like this and I agree with you too many things like this and in the end we are losing the game and we are in situation we need to change as soon as possible.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"
