Max Dowman injury update ahead of Chelsea
Dowman is close to returning from an ankle injury which has kept him sidelined since the start of December.
During a behind-closed-doors friendly against Manchester United, Dowman suffered ankle ligament damage and has been taking his time to recover.
The teenager is now back in first-team training and could be available for the clash with Chelsea this weekend.
Mikel Arteta is very unlikely to rush him back into action, given the Gunners’ right-winger options and his age. Returning for Arsenal’s academy will be the likely first step back for him.
