Arsenal provide positive medical update on Frida Maanum | OneFootball

Arsenal have provided a medical update on Frida Maanum, following the incident during the FA Women’s Conti Cup final on Sunday, in which the Norwegian star collapsed at the end of normal time.

In an official statement, the club said: “She (Maanum) has undergone extensive testing and support from our medical team at Arsenal. The test results have been reviewed by two leading cardiologists and there are no obvious cardiac causes found from these thorough investigations so far.”

They followed up by stating Maanum “has subsequently had a monitoring device fitted to record her heart function and will now undergo a progressive return to training protocol.

“Once Frida has been monitored for a full one-week period, her normal training will be closely reviewed and monitored, before a decision will be made on her returning to play.”

As a result of her continued assessment, Maanum will not join up with the Norway national team ahead of their upcoming European Championship qualifiers against Finland and the Netherlands.
