Recently, Chelsea has signed new strikers Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, which has led to speculation that Jackson might be leaving the team after the US tournament. However, Maresca has stated that Jackson is currently training well and will continue to play an important role in the team.

Maresca explained that the team's game plan for the upcoming match will be to adapt and find new solutions, rather than sticking to their usual approach. He praised Jackson's performance in the Conference League final, where he scored a goal and helped the team win.

Regarding the fresh competition in the striker position, Maresca noted that all the current strikers, including Jackson, Joao Pedro, and Liam Delap, are aware of Chelsea's playing style. He emphasized the importance of having multiple players who can score goals, rather than relying on a single striker to score 40 goals.

Maresca's approach is to encourage all attacking players to contribute to the team's goals, as seen in the performances of Noni Madueke and Enzo Fernandez last season. He expects the same level of goal-scoring from the team's attacking players in the upcoming season.

Overall, Maresca's comments suggest that Jackson will continue to play an important role in the team, and that the new signings will bring fresh competition and opportunities for the team's attacking players.
