Max Dowman

Arsenal midfielder Max Dowman (16) suffered an ankle injury playing for Arsenal's under-21's on Saturday.

Update Tuesday 13 January 2026

The midfielder remains sidelined with an ankle injury and is still a few weeks away from returning, according to manager Mikel Arteta. Although his recovery is progressing well, Dowman has yet to resume training, meaning a comeback is not imminent. Even once fit again, the teenager is expected to be eased back carefully, with his role likely remaining limited in the short term.
