Arsenal posted an update on Maanum’s condition on X, saying: “Frida is conscious, talking and in a stable condition.

“She will continue to be monitored closely by our medical team.

“We’re all with you, Frida ❤️”

Meanwhile, Stina Blackstenius scored late in extra-time as Arsenal defeated Chelsea 1-0 to win the Conti Cup for a second successive year.

Arsenal were able to overcome Maanum’s collapse and struck in the 116th minute after Blackstenius bundled the ball home, having missed a good chance earlier in extra-time.

Chelsea could not keep up with Arsenal, who beat them 3-1 in last season’s final, in what was their eighth game in March and the defeat ended their chances of winning the quadruple in Emma Hayes’ final season in charge.
