Max Dowman will have to serve the remaining two domestic matches of his suspension after Arsenal failed in their appeal against his red card during the match against Fleetwood Town. The Gunners had hoped to have the teenager’s punishment overturned…
Arsenal's appeal against Max Dowman's red card from the match against Fleetwood Town has been officially rejected by an independent panel. The panel explained that the 16-year-old had the opportunity to avoid escalating the incident after a tackle, but instead turned back to make a forceful retaliatory kick that justified the referee's sending-off.
As a result of the decision, Dowman must serve the remaining two domestic matches of his suspension. The ban comes while Bukayo Saka is out injured, temporarily closing an immediate window for the young forward to feature regularly in Mikel Arteta's first-team squad.
