“Frida is conscious, speaking and in stable condition”, wanted to reassure the Arsenal club on X (formerly Twitter), Sunday March 31. It had been several long minutes since the spectators seated in the stands of the Molineux stadium, Wolverhampton, for the Continental Cup clash between Arsenal and Chelsea in the final, saw Frida Maanum lose consciousness on the pitch in the 96th minute. The Norwegian, who plays as a midfielder, was quickly placed on oxygen and evacuated by doctors.

The meeting finally resumed. Her teammates even went for victory (1-0) at the end of extra time thanks to a strike from Stina Blackstenius (116th), who rushed to her teammate following her discomfort.
