Impact Dowman is going to get some time this week, but is still outside the first team, with the attacker only playing with the U21s this week. This is still a major update, as he is at least getting some field time after a long absence. He will likely be lined up for a return to the first team in a few more weeks, continuing to build up fitness.

He only appeared three times before the injury, likely still a depth option trying to earn minutes once fit.

An attacking midfielder or winger, he has scored 27 goals and provided 10 assists in 34 academy appearances across under-18 and under-21 levels. He debuted at senior level in August 2025 against Leeds United as the second-youngest player in Premier League history, became the club's youngest starter in October 2025 against Brighton in the Carabao Cup, and then became the youngest player to appear in the Champions League in November 2025 against Slavia Prague.

Impact Dowman seems to be in a better spot than first thought, as the midfielder is seeming to be a few weeks away instead of aiming for a return to end February. However, he is yet to train, which he will have to before thinking of making a team sheet again. Even once he does return, the 16-year-olds role is likely to be limited.

Out at least two months Dowman is expected to be out up to two months due to an ankle ligament injury, reports the New York Times.

Impact Dowman was dropped from the Champions League roster earlier in the week so this injury news isn't too surprising. It's a detriment to his growth, soon to be 16 years old, but he's still young and it's not a terrible injury. He'll aim to get back on the pitch in February, though given the depth of Arsenal, Dowman will likely remain with the U21s the rest of the season.

Picks up ankle injury Dowman suffered an ankle injury in Saturday's match with the U21s, according to his club.

Impact Dowman went down over thee weekend and is now dealing with some issues, as the midfielder has been dealt an ankle injury. The young prospect will likely miss some time due to the injury, although he has played a minor role this season, only appearing twice for 19 minutes. That said, this is a minor loss, with his absence unlikely to effect the team.
