Overview

• Arsenal filed their league‑phase A‑list on September 3 with Max Dowman, 15, and goalkeeper Tommy Setford included, while injured forward Gabriel Jesus was omitted.
• There is no minimum age in UEFA competitions, so Dowman can play immediately and would break Youssoufa Moukoko’s record if he appears before turning 16 on December 31.
• Dowman is not yet eligible for List B under locally trained criteria, so he takes an A‑list place as Arsenal use 23 of a possible 25 slots.
• Clubs may adjust squads before the knockout stage, allowing Arsenal to add up to three A‑list players and potentially shift Dowman to List B if he meets the criteria, which could free a place for Jesus if fit.
• Dowman’s rapid rise continued with an England Under‑19 debut on Wednesday, with expert reports noting he is the youngest to feature for that age group.
