"Gabriel Jesus has replaced Max Dowman in Arsenal's Champions League squad after the 15-year-old picked up an injury playing for the club's under-21s on Saturday. Jesus, who sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury in January, is yet to feature for Mikel Arteta's side this season, but has appeared on the bench twice. It means the Brazilian is now available for their game with Club Brugge on Wednesday night."
"Dowman will not be permitted to play in any Uefa competitions for 60 days - meaning he will be unvailable for January's league phase matches against Inter Milan and Kairat Almaty in January. Dowman has had a breakout season for the Gunners, and became the youngest player in Champions League history after coming on in November's 3-0 win over Slavia Prague."
"Tottenham are not able to choose from a full compliment of 25 senior players in the competition after they did not register eight homegrown players in their 'List A squad' by the time of the cut-off on 2 September. As Brandon Austin, Djed Spence, Ben Davies, Archie Gray, Brennan Johnson are the five 'locally trained' players registered by Uefa, the club was punished by losing three 'List A' places."
Gabriel Jesus has been added to Arsenal's Champions League squad as a replacement for 15-year-old Max Dowman, who suffered an injury playing for the under-21s. Jesus sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury in January and has not yet featured this season, though he has been on the bench twice and played in a recent friendly. Dowman will be ineligible for Uefa competitions for 60 days, ruling him out of January league-phase matches against Inter Milan and Kairat Almaty. Tottenham added Mathys Tel for the injured Dominic Solanke after being penalised for failing to register enough homegrown players, costing three 'List A' places.
