Arsenal's 16-year-old forward Max Dowman will miss upcoming fixtures against Liverpool, Hull City, and Newcastle United after the club lost an appeal regarding his eligibility, according to a report published on October 29, 2026.
Dowman recently made history by becoming the Premier League's youngest-ever goalscorer in an Arsenal victory, but the appeal decision rules him out of the next three matches. The nature of the appeal was not specified in the report.
The teenager's record-breaking goal came in a league win for Arsenal, though the exact date and opponent were not detailed. Dowman's absence will be a blow to the squad as they face a challenging run of fixtures.
