Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, is in need of a win to get his team's season back on track. In preparation for Saturday's match against Nottingham Forest, Arteta has once again invited the talented 14-year-old Max Dowman to train with the first team. Dowman has been making waves in the football world with his impressive performances at the youth level and now has the opportunity to learn from experienced players like Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.
As a creative midfielder, Dowman has already made history by becoming the youngest-ever goalscorer in the UEFA Youth League earlier this season. His rapid progress has not gone unnoticed, with football legend Rio Ferdinand even praising the young player on his YouTube channel. Ferdinand expressed his disappointment that Arteta has not given Dowman more playing time, citing his impressive skills and maturity on the field.
However, it seems unlikely that Dowman will be included in the matchday squad, as Arsenal's injury crisis appears to have lifted. While Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu are still out with long-term injuries, the return of Riccardo Calafirio and the expected appearances of Odegaard, Declan Rice, and Martin Odegaard against Forest make it difficult for Dowman to secure a spot.
Speaking of Odegaard, the club captain recently made his comeback against Chelsea after missing out on Norway's Nations League fixtures. Explaining his decision to skip the international break, Odegaard said that he needed time to work on his fitness and ensure his ankle was fully recovered. After being out for eight weeks, he wanted to make sure his body was properly prepared for his return to the field.
In order to reach 100% fitness, Odegaard has been working hard at the Sobha training facility in London. He is determined to get back to top form and help his team secure a much-needed win against Nottingham Forest. With the return of key players and promising young talents like Dowman, Arsenal is ready to kickstart their season and climb up the Premier League table.
