Max Dowman to serve three-match ban after appeal rejected

Arsenal's Max Dowman will miss three matches after an independent commission rejected the club's appeal against his red card. The sanction follows his sending-off during Tuesday's Carabao Cup defeat at Fleetwood Town. With the appeal dismissed, Dowman is confirmed to serve the full suspension, ruling him out of Arsenal's next three competitive fixtures. This absence will impact the squad's defensive options in the immediate term as the team continues its cup campaign.
