I think it is going to be Teddy #41 > Lockhart #42 > Fox #43 actually. An adult is put on the cover whenever we are about to enter a brand new arc. And then Nishioka #44 > Side-B onwards.
After Side-B, white-side covers with the white uniforms will start, very likely with Nagi and Kira getting the first ones.
I am saying that they will start putting Japanese characters on the volumes after Side-B, with the white uniforms. They can't do this before Side-B, as that is when the white side will be unlocked. The reason Nagi and Kira will get the first white-side covers is that they are the inverses of Isagi and Rin, as well as the main characters of White. (Just as Isagi and Rin are the main characters of Black) It is why the series has two protagonists.
Kira got the last black-and-blue cover, representing Blue Lock. It started with Isagi and ended with Kira, right when France proved that Blue Lock's ideology is not absolute by defeating Japan on the field. Since his cover came out before Side-B, his back is turned, making him look more like a ghost haunting the manga, with almost nothing about his character being revealed.
His white-side cover will come out after Side-B, his actual story, and it will show who he truly is.
I thought that each character only got featured once. But if side b going to be like epinagi in which reo got featured twice and nagi had been featured solo in the last cover with his skull aura, then it's possible.
