Arsenal manager Jonas Eidevall expressed deep concern for midfielder Frida Maanum who collapsed on the pitch during the Continental Cup final against Chelsea. Play was halted for seven minutes as Maanum received medical attention before being stretchered off. Eidevall emphasized the team’s primary concern for Maanum’s well-being, stating they wanted to make her “a champion” amidst the distressing incident.

Despite the scare, Maanum was confirmed to be conscious and in stable condition. Arsenal ultimately won the final 1-0 with Stina Blackstenius scoring the decisive goal in extra time. Teammates rallied around Maanum with Alessia Russo expressing hope for her recovery and Blackstenius dedicating the victory to her. Maanum’s health remains the primary focus overshadowing the triumph on the field.
