Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has withdrawn from international duty with Senegal to undergo surgery on a wrist injury.

Jackson had worn a splint on his right arm during his last two matches to protect the injury.

The Senegalese forward had been suffering from the problem ahead of Chelsea's 1-0 win over Brighton in the Carabao Cup, as reported by the Daily Mirror.

Jackson has reportedly undergone a minor operation to correct the issue.

The operation has led to the 22-year-old pulling out of Senegal's match against Cameroon.
