Dowman to miss three matches after appeal rejected
· Sports · BBC Sport, Sportstar
Arsenal midfielder Max Dowman will serve a three-match suspension after the club's appeal against his red card was unsuccessful. The 16-year-old was sent off in the 85th minute during a Carabao Cup loss to Fleetwood after making contact with opponent Harrison Neal. This dismissal marks Dowman's second red card this month, following a previous sending-off while playing for England's Under-19 team. Manager Mikel Arteta publicly criticised the player's emotional discipline following the match. Arsenal currently faces a shortage of wingers due to injuries to Bukayo Saka, Christos Tzolis, and Noni Madueke.
