Blow for Arsenal: Dowman handed three-match ban
Summarised by MatchPal
The FA upheld the red card; Dowman will miss three matches against Liverpool, Hull City and Newcastle.
Max Dowman, Arsenal's 16-year-old prospect, has been handed a three-match suspension after his red card in the League Cup elimination to Fleetwood Town on Tuesday. The FA rejected Arsenal's appeal on Thursday, dismissing the club's argument that Dowman's kick was a reaction to a heavy challenge and insufficient grounds for dismissal. The red card stands, and Dowman will miss Arsenal's next three fixtures: against Liverpool, Hull City and Newcastle. It is the second red card in a month for the teenager, who was also sent off while playing for England's U-19 side in a friendly against the United States.
