Max Dowman Joins Arsenal's Champions League Squad
Arsenal's 15-year-old Max Dowman is poised to make his Champions League debut this season after being included in Mikel Arteta's squad for the tournament.
There are no age restrictions for participation in the Champions League, meaning that as long as Dowman is registered on the squad list A, he is eligible to play for the Gunners in this prestigious competition.
UEFA has released the official squad list for Arsenal, which includes Dowman among the 23 players selected.
While fans may notice the absence of Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly from the list, both players can still be registered on squad list B, as they are under 21 years of age and have been part of the Arsenal first team for the past two years.
The Gunners will begin their Champions League campaign with an away match against Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday, September 16. This is a rematch, as Arsenal previously defeated Bilbao 3-0 in their final pre-season match before the tournament commenced.
