Arsenal plans to challenge Max Dowman's red card shown during a Carabao Cup encounter with Fleetwood Town, according to BBC Sport. The 16-year-old midfielder was dismissed in the 85th minute after reacting to a heavy challenge from Fleetwood's Harrison Neal. Despite not fully kicking the opponent, Dowman's foot made contact with Neal, leading to his red card.
The match finished 1-1, but Fleetwood went on to win 5-3 on penalties, eliminating the Premier League champions from the competition. This is Dowman's second red card this month, having been sent off while playing for England's Under-19 team. After the game, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta appeared visibly agitated, giving the youngster a stern look and making an angry remark.
The club's appeal could potentially lead to a reduced three-match ban for Dowman, who currently faces a possible suspension. Arsenal is currently dealing with injuries to several wing players, including Bukayo Saka, Christos Tzolis, and Noni Madueke, as they prepare to face Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
