Arsenal midfielder Frida Maanum is in a stable condition after appearing to collapse during Sunday’s Continental Cup final against Chelsea.
The Norway international appeared to go down off the ball in second-half stoppage time at Molineux before medical staff entered the field of play to treat her.
Play was stopped for seven minutes while the 24-year-old was attended to before she left the field on a stretcher while receiving oxygen.
Arsenal confirmed a short time later that Maanum was “conscious, talking and in a stable condition”.
The club also confirmed that she would continue to be closely monitored by their medical team.
We’re all thinking of you, Frida ❤️

Maanum has made 28 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal this season, including seven in the Continental Cup.
She joined from Swedish side Linkoping in 2021 after spells with Lyn and Stabaek in her home country.
Arsenal are next in action against Bristol City in the Women’s Super League following the international break.
