Arsenal<\/a>‘s Max Dowman will miss three matches after an appeal against his sending-off during Tuesday’s Carabao Cup loss at Fleetwood was rejected.<\/p>\n

The 16-year-old midfielder was shown a straight red card in the 85th minute after reacting to a heavy challenge by Fleetwood’s Harrison Neal.<\/p>\n

Although Dowman did not fully kick out, his foot did make contact with Neal.<\/p>\n

The game finished 1-1 before League Two Fleetwood beat the Premier League champions 5-3 on penalties.<\/a><\/p>\n

Arsenal appealed Dowman’s sending-off on Wednesday.<\/a><\/p>\n

It was Dowman’s second red card this month having also been sent off while representing England’s Under-19s.<\/p>\n

As Dowman left the field, Arsenal<\/a> manager Mikel Arteta gave him a scathing look and made what appeared to be an angry comment to the young winger.<\/p>\n

Arteta said after the game: “When we prepared the context of the match, we were very clear on the things to respect, the things that emotionally we have to dominate. It was very clear.”<\/p>\n

Dowman was dismissed for violent conduct, which according to the laws of the game is when a player “uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball… regardless of whether contact is made”.<\/p>\n

The Gunners were already light on options on the wing as Bukayo Saka, Christos Tzolis and Noni Madueke are currently out injured.<\/p>\n

Arteta’s side return to Premier League action away to Liverpool<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal‘s Max Dowman will miss three matches after an appeal against his sending-off during Tuesday’s Carabao Cup loss…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":899082,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-899081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/899081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=899081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/899081\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/899082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=899081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=899081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=899081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
