Arsenal prodigy Max Dowman has joined the club's extensive injury list and is set to be out of action for around two months, according to reports.

On Tuesday, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta revealed Dowman had been removed from the club's Champions League squad, replaced by Gabriel Jesus, who has been out since Arsenal's January's defeat by Manchester United in the FA Cup, when he suffered an ACL injury.
