Arsenal Unveil 2025/26 Champions League Squad without Gabriel Jesus
Max Dowman, 15, is included in Arsenal's 25-player Champions League squad despite his youth, while injured Gabriel Jesus remains sidelined due to a cruciate ligament tear.
- Arsenal confirmed they omitted Gabriel Jesus, Brazilian forward, from their Champions League league-phase squad while including 15-year-old academy player Max Dowman on List A.
- Jesus has been out since January with an ACL rupture and has resumed light training without a return date, while Dowman was placed on UEFA List A as he hasn't completed three full training seasons to qualify for List B.
- The squad comprises Arsenal's A List of 23 players, including eight summer signings such as Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze, with UEFA league-phase fixtures starting away to Athletic Club on September 16.
- Dowman's inclusion means he could become the youngest-ever Champions League player if he appears before December 31st, and he can move to List B after his 16th birthday, allowing Jesus to join later.
- With injuries still a factor, Arsenal Football Club added eight senior summer signings to bolster depth, while Max Dowman, academy prospect, shows potential for a breakout season.
