Mikel Arteta revealed Arsenal have been blocked from playing 15-year-old sensation Max Dowman due to the Premier League rules over age group.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Arsenal are currently facing a major shortage of attacking options, with several key forwards sidelined. The problems began when Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz suffered hamstring injuries in recent weeks, significantly weakening Arteta’s attacking setup. Havertz’s injury is particularly severe, requiring surgery that will keep him out for the rest of the season. Meanwhile, Martinelli is expected to be absent for at least a month, further limiting the team’s firepower. Adding to the Gunners’ woes, Bukayo Saka is also recovering from a hamstring problem, while Gabriel Jesus has been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign with a knee injury.
