Arsenal youngster Max Dowman will serve a three-match suspension after his appeal against a red card shown in the Carabao Cup fourth-round tie against Fleetwood Town was rejected.
The disciplinary panel upheld the dismissal, meaning the highly rated academy product must sit out the next three fixtures. Dowman was sent off during the cup match at Fleetwood Town, though the specific nature of the offense was not detailed in the initial report.
The decision confirms the ban will apply to upcoming competitive matches, dealing a blow to the player's development opportunities at senior level.
