Arsenal to Appeal Max Dowman Red Card in Order to Avoid Huge Problem vs Liverpool

Arsenal are seeking to clear the 16-year-old before Sunday’s trip to Liverpool after his straight red card in the Carabao Cup loss.

  • On Wednesday, Arsenal launched an appeal against the red card shown to 16-year-old midfielder Max Dowman during Tuesday's Carabao Cup defeat to League Two side Fleetwood, which finished 1-1 before penalties.
  • Dowman received the straight red card in the 85th minute after reacting to a heavy challenge by Fleetwood's Harrison Neal, though replays suggest the dismissal was potentially harsh.
  • Manager Mikel Arteta was caught on camera scolding the youngster as he left the pitch, while Arsenal must submit documentation to the Football Association by 1:00 PM GMT on Thursday.
  • Arsenal hopes for a verdict before Sunday's Liverpool match, as the club currently lacks right-sided options Bukayo Saka and Noni Madueke, making Dowman's availability crucial.
  • Should the appeal fail, the midfielder faces a three-game suspension against Liverpool, Hull City, and Newcastle United; he remains eligible for next week's Champions League tie against Slavia Prague.
