Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has disclosed that he administered a punishment to striker Nicolas Jackson following the player’s suspension in the Premier League.

Jackson’s accumulation of five yellow cards resulted in him missing a game for the Blues.

Pochettino himself faced suspension for confronting referee Anthony Taylor immediately after Chelsea’s 4-4 draw with Manchester City before the international break.

The manager shared that he imposed a penalty on himself for arguing with officials.

In addressing reporters, Pochettino explained, “[Jackson] had to run [for his punishment]. And I am going to pay for dinner because I got suspended and I cannot run, so I prefer to pay.”
