Gabriel Jesus has replaced Max Dowman in Arsenal’s Champions League squad after the 15-year-old picked up an injury playing for the club’s under-21s on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Jesus, who sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury in January, is yet to feature for Mikel Arteta’s side this season, but has appeared on the bench twice.<\/p>\n
It means the Brazilian is now available for their game with Club Brugge on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
Dowman will not be permitted to play in any Uefa competitions for 60 days – meaning he will be unvailable for January’s league phase matches against Inter Milan and Kairat Almaty in January.<\/p>\n
Dowman has had a breakout season for the Gunners, and became the youngest player in Champions League history after coming on in November’s 3-0 win over Slavia Prague.<\/p>\n
Jesus, who also played in the friendly on Saturday, was initially left out of Arsenal’s Champions League squad.<\/p>\n
Tottenham also added forward Mathys Tel in place of injured striker Dominic Solanke, meaning he is available to face Slavia Prague on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The Frenchman was left out of Thomas Frank’s initial European squad, as Spurs were over the limit of the 22 players that they could register.<\/p>\n
Tottenham are not able to choose from a full compliment of 25 senior players in the competition after they did not register eight homegrown players in their ‘List A squad’ by the time of the cut-off on 2 September.<\/p>\n
As Brandon Austin, Djed Spence, Ben Davies, Archie Gray, Brennan Johnson are the five ‘locally trained’ players registered by Uefa, the club was punished by losing three ‘List A’ places.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gabriel Jesus has replaced Max Dowman in Arsenal’s Champions League squad after the 15-year-old picked up an injury…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":307378,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-307377","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=307377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307377\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/307378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=307377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=307377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
