Arsenal Name 15-Year-Old Max Dowman in Champions League Squad as Jesus Left Out

The teenager is eligible only via UEFA’s A list because he does not yet qualify for List B.

Overview

  • Arsenal’s confirmed A-list includes Dowman and goalkeeper Tommy Setford, with Gabriel Jesus omitted as he continues recovery from knee surgery.
  • Dowman could feature in the league phase and would become the Champions League’s youngest player if he makes an appearance.
  • UEFA registration rules bar him from the unlimited List B at this stage, so Arsenal assigned him one of their 25 A-list slots.
  • Jesus can be added before the knockout rounds when clubs are permitted to update their squads after the league phase.
  • The selection follows Dowman’s Premier League debut at 15 and an England U19 appearance reported as a new age record in a 2-0 win over Ukraine.
