The 15 year-old midfielder could start in tonight's Carabao Cup tie with Port Vale.
Arteta said in his media preview yesterday: "Well, learning from him, probably. First of all, preparing and having a very good understanding of his new situation and all the things that are different in his life. So we need to change his times, we need to change his education, probably his allocation and where he is with his family.
"His diet is different, his sleep patterns become different, the training load is different, the amount of information, pressure, and exposure is different. So we have to manage a lot of factors. Into that, a lot of factors, you add a lot of minutes with very different teams as well.
"We need to be cautious and that's what we are trying to do in the best possible way to find that balance to keep Max as connected as possible with the first team because he's undoubtedly a player that can help the first team. But that's why we need the right mixture of minutes like he did the other day with the under-23s and with England, to have that exposure when he needs to play with us, he's ready to do that."
Everyone loves him
Arteta was asked about the first time Dowman nutmegged one of his senior teammates in training.
He replied, "At the beginning, they responded immediately - kick him! That was the first one, and Max, to be fair, he was excellent, stood up, and got to the next one. You can really take it personally, of someone who was 14 last year, at some point when he was doing certain things to players, and now everybody loves him.
"You just want to hug him, help him. He's such a nice boy as well and he's very much liked by everybody here. It brings responsibility to look after somebody with that talent and make sure we just do what we have to do to make sure we're given the best chance to exploit his talent, that's all."
