During Sunday’s match against Chelsea, in the second half of stoppage time, Frida Maanum went down off the ball.
At Wolverhampton Wanderers’ home ground, Molineux, which served as a neutral location for the Conti Cup final, Maanum was given oxygen through a mask while the other players stayed on the field.
The game continued in the fourteenth extra minute with the scores tied at zero. Alessia Russo entered the game to take the place of the injured midfield player.
In the 26th minute of extra time, Blackstenius scored the game-winning goal for Arsenal, who went on to win 1-0.
The manager of Arsenal, Jonas Eidevall, stated following the match: “We have faith in our medical staff and they have provided us with excellent information.”
The statement “Frida is conscious, talking, and in a stable condition” was Arsenal Women’s additional update regarding Maanum’s health on the news. Our medical staff will continue to keep a careful eye on her. All of us are with you, Frida.
After scoring the game-winning goal, Blackstenius spoke to news Sport about her friend, saying, “It’s always really hard.” We all consider her a friend and a teammate.
We are really attached to her. Something like this makes you a little anxious.
