Dowman in line for Champions League football

Arsenal's 15-year-old Max Dowman looks set to play Champions League football this season after being named in Mikel Arteta's squad for the competition.

There is no age restriction to play in the Champions League so teenager Dowman could play for the Gunners in the competition as long as he was registered on squad list A.

Uefa have released the Arsenal squad list and Dowman is among the 23 players included.

Supporters may be alarmed to see the names of Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly missing, but the pair can be named on squad list B as they are under 21 years old and have been eligible for the Arsenal first team for two years.

The Gunners kick off their Champions League campaign with an away game against Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday, 16 September - a team they beat 3-0 in their final pre-season match before this campaign kicked off.
