Arsenal star collapses on-pitch during FA WSL Cup clash vs Chelsea
Arsenal have confirmed that Frida Maanum is conscious and in a stable condition after collapsing on the pitch during Sunday's FA WSL Cup final against Chelsea. Maanum went down off the ball and with no one around her during the end of normal time at Molineux, dropping to her knees initially before laying on the floor. Paramedics quickly raced on to the pitch to provide treatment.
After several minutes, the midfielder was eventually stretchered off wearing an oxygen mask with players from both sides visibly distressed. She was replaced by Alessia Russo.
The game eventually restarted to finish off the final minutes before going into extra-time, with the score at 0-0. Arsenal confirmed shortly after that their player was responsive.
In a statement on social media platform X, Arsenal posted: “Frida is conscious, talking and in a stable condition. She will continue to be monitored closely by our medical team. We’re all with you, Frida."
