Max Dowman Red Card Appeal: When Will He Return To The Pitch?

English Premier League champions Arsenal are in the process of filing an appeal for Max Dowman's dismissal during their Carabao Cup encounter against Fleetwood Town on Monday. The teenage prospect was given his marching orders in the 86th minute for violent conduct after he kicked out at Harrison Neal following the Fleetwood defender's strong challenge.

A dismissal due to violent conduct carries a three-game suspension, which would see Dowman miss games against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, Hull City at the Emirates Stadium on November 7 and Newcastle United away on November 21.

Following the awarding of the red card, the England Under-19 international was spoken to sternly by head coach Mikel Arteta as he made his way to the tunnel. While the Gunners went on to lose the penalties after finishing 1-1 after extra time, the concern will be about the promising star's availability.

When Will Max Dowman Play Next For Arsenal?

The Englishman is expected to be available for their next UEFA Champions League clash against Slavia Praha on November 5. The 16-year-old has played 5 games and scored two goals, showcasing his development at the first-team level. While Dowman might not be a starting XI player currently for Arteta, it remains to be seen how many games he will get to play as an Arsenal first-teamer this term.

While no official statement has been released either by the EPL giants or the player, media outlets are reporting a fresh development in the upcoming days.
