"A beta version of Football Manager 26 is now available to play, but Gunners fans have noticed that Dowman is not included among the Arsenal squad. The youngster is regarded as one of the hottest talents in Europe and has been fast-tracked into Mikel Arteta's first-team squad, making two appearances in the Premier League and making up part of Arsenal's Champions League matchday squad.

"It appears that permission has not been given in time for Dowman to be featured in the game in time for its release. The playmaker will not turn 16 until December 31 this year, at which point Sports Interactive would be free to add Dowman to their database. Based on previous years, we might expect the wonderkid to be added to the game as part of a March update. Dowman is also missing from EA Sports' FC 26 for similar reasons."
Football Manager 26 is the first release in two years after the previous season was cancelled to allow more time for major new features, including women's football. A beta is available, but 15-year-old Max Dowman is not listed in Arsenal's squad within the game. Dowman has been fast-tracked into Mikel Arteta's first-team squad, making Premier League appearances and appearing in Champions League matchday squads. Players under 16 require explicit family consent to appear in such games, and that permission was not granted in time for release. Past practice suggests an update around March could add him, and he is also absent from EA Sports' FC 26.
