Bayern Munich forward Nicolas Jackson has been photographed training in the snow without a shirt, a practice he described as “part of my routine.” The images, circulating widely on social media and reported by Belgian news outlet Het Belang van Limburg, show the Senegalese international undergoing drills in sub-freezing temperatures at Bayern’s training facility.
Jackson, currently on loan from Chelsea for the 2025/26 season, has made 15 appearances for the Bundesliga club, scoring three goals, according to Bayern Munich’s official website. He joined Bayern after signing an eight-year contract with Chelsea in 2023 for a reported £32 million.
The 24-year-old’s unusual training method has drawn attention, but he maintains it is a regular component of his fitness regimen. Details regarding the specific rationale behind the practice remain limited, though the report suggests it is intended as a recovery technique following strenuous matches.
Jackson was a key member of the Senegal national team that won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2025. He has earned 31 caps for Senegal, scoring seven goals, as of January 18, 2026. He too represented Senegal at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Bundesliga statistics show Jackson has 14 shots on goal this season, winning 39 aerial duels and 39 tackles. He has received no yellow cards in his 15 appearances. Bayern Munich is scheduled to play Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, February 21st.
