Arsenal provide update on Frida Maanum following shocking Conti Cup final collapse as Norway call-up is delayed

The Norwegian midfielder went down on the ground off the ball during Arsenal's Conti Cup final against Chelsea last week at Molineux. The player required oxygen after the fall, however, the club later confirmed that she was in a stable condition.

Now the Gunners have issued a fresh update on the player's condition as they claimed that Maanum is "stable and doing well". The player will continue to be monitored by the club's medical staff, although, she won't report for Norway's upcoming Euro 2025 qualifying game against Finland on April 5. She could make it to the squad for the second qualifying game against the Netherlands which will be played on April 9, however, a final call will be taken on Friday depending upon her condition.

The official statement on Maanum's condition read, "Frida Maanum will continue to be closely monitored by our medical team at Arsenal this week and will therefore not meet up with the Norwegian national team before their game on Friday. We are liaising closely with the Norwegian medical team. Frida is stable and doing well and we’ll share further updates as and when we receive them."

Maanum's mother Liz-Heidi Leonhardsen watched the final from her home in Norway and revealed that she went through a nightmare after watching her daughter's horrific fall.

The Gunners will be back in action after the international break on April 14 as they take on Bristol City in a Women's Super League clash.
