Arsenal offer positive Frida Maanum update after Gunners star collapses unchallenged in worrying scenes during Conti Cup final against Chelsea

The Norwegian went down off the ball and under no challenge, sparking immediate calls for medical treatment. The 24-year-old had to be stretchered off in the late stages of the Conti Cup final against Chelsea on Sunday.

Arsenal issued a positive update shortly after the incident, confirming that the player is in stable condition. A social media post read: "Frida is conscious, talking and in a stable condition. She will continue to be monitored closely by our medical team."

The London rivals could not be separated by 90 minutes at Molineux Stadium. Maanum was replaced by Alessia Russo in stoppage time and the match went into extra time to declare a winner. This year's final is a replay of the 2022-23 decider, which Arsenal won 3-1.

Following the update from Arsenal, football fans will breathe a sigh of relief but will hope for further news about Maanum's condition after the two teams play out the final of the FA Women's League Cup.
