With the addition of new strikers Joao Pedro and Liam Delap since the end of last season, there has been speculation about Jackson's future. However, Maresca assured that Jackson will still have a role to play in the upcoming matches, including the Club World Cup semifinal against Fluminense.

Maresca emphasized that the team will adapt their game plan for each match, and Jackson is training well despite being sent off in his last two games. While the team has brought in a new striker, Maresca believes that having multiple players who can score goals is beneficial.

He explained that having four or five players scoring 10-12 goals each is more desirable than relying on one striker to score 40 goals. Maresca cited examples of players like Noni Madueke and Enzo Fernandez, who contributed to the team's success last season.

The coach expressed his confidence in the team's attacking players and their ability to score goals. He also acknowledged that the current strikers, including Jackson, are familiar with Chelsea's style of play.
