The Senegal international joined the Blues from Villarreal with huge hype over the summer, but he has struggled to make a reasonable impact until now.

Jackson has scored just one goal versus Luton . In the rest of the league games, he has missed big chances and has been yellow-carded in each of those.

The striker picked up his fifth booking of the top-flight campaign on Sunday and he is now suspended for the visit of Fulham on Monday, October 2nd.

Speaking after the 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa , Pochettino said that he spoke about it before the game and Jackson needs to show better discipline on the field.

He said: "We were talking, we need to grow up like a team. Nico is young and is feeling the Premier League. Football is about winning but players when they are young need to learn."
