Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has again jumped to the defence of Nicolas Jackson.

Jackson again drew a blank in defeat at Wolves on Christmas Eve.

But Pochettino insists: "He is a young boy, 22 years old.

"It is his first season in a club with many expectations and in the Premier, which is a different league. He needs adaptation and time. It is logical.

"The problem is that we are not performing as expected and that is why people are looking for culprits. But we are all doing it wrong, not one or two players.

"They are all failing in front of the goal and in other facets. We have to help him."
