- Dowman was sent off in the 85th minute of the 1-1 draw for kicking out at Harrison Neal, before League Two Fleetwood won the tie on penalties.
- The Gunners hope to resolve the matter before Thursday's deadline so the teenager is available for Sunday's Premier League clash against Liverpool.
- Mikel Arteta made nine changes to his team, with Fleetwood taking an early lead through Aaron Loupalo-Bi before Viktor Gyokeres equalised for Arsenal.
- Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard conceded the team played below their usual standard and urged his teammates to bounce back at Anfield.
