Arsenal's Max Dowman to miss three matches after red card appeal rejected
(opens the publisher’s site)The Football Association has rejected Arsenal's appeal against Max Dowman's red card and three-match ban from the Carabao Cup defeat at Fleetwood.
- An independent commission has dismissed Arsenal's appeal against Dowman's red card and three-match suspension, the FA confirmed on Thursday.
- The 16-year-old was sent off in the 85th minute for kicking out at Harrison Neal during the 1-1 draw, which Fleetwood won 5-3 on penalties.
- Dowman will miss Sunday's Premier League trip to Liverpool, home game against Hull, and the trip to Newcastle.
- It was Dowman's second red card this month, following his dismissal while representing England's Under-19s.
