  "summary": "Chelsea are set to lose two strikers ahead of their pre-season friendly against Real Sociedad, with Nicolas Jackson and Liam Delap absent from the squad. Jackson, who spent last season on loan at Bayern Munich, has attracted interest from several Premier League and European clubs, including Aston Villa. Meanwhile, Como are reportedly considering a loan move for Delap. With Danny Welbeck also absent, Joao Pedro is the only striker available for Xavi Alonso's squad. Enzo Fernandez is on the bench due to transfer links with Manchester City.",
