David Ornstein of The Athletic reported that Chelsea told Bayern Munich the loan move could not go ahead.
Both clubs had agreed a £13 million arrangement on Saturday, but Chelsea decided to keep the Senegal-born forward at Stamford Bridge as immediate cover.
Manager Enzo Maresca said the squad now faces a striking shortage and that the club must act quickly to cope with the setback.
Chelsea will reassess the transfer market while relying on Jackson to help fill the gap.
By blocking the move, Chelsea preserve short-term attacking depth, while Bayern must hunt for alternatives.
Expect further updates as the Blues monitor Delap’s recovery and weigh reinforcements.
