Arsenal say there are no 'obvious cardiac causes' behind Frida Maanum's collapse during their League Cup final win vs Chelsea - but confirm the midfielder has been fitted with a heart monitor

Arsenal midfielder Frida Maanum has been fitted with a heart monitor after collapsing during the League Cup final last weekend, but early test results have indicated there were no obvious cardiac causes.

Maanum fell to the floor in the 95th minute and required oxygen during a nine-minute stoppage at Molineux on Sunday.

The midfielder was in stable condition and talking after being taken off on a stretcher and has been closely monitored by Arsenal since.

The Gunners have now confirmed that Maanum has undergone extensive testing, with results showing no obvious cardiac causes behind her collapse.

She has, however, been fitted with a monitoring device to record her heart function and will continue to be monitored before a decision is made on her return to play.

A statement from Arsenal read: ‘Following the incident during The FA Women’s Continental League Cup Final on Sunday, which resulted in Frida Maanum being substituted at the end of normal time, she 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.

‘Frida has subsequently had a monitoring device fitted to record her heart function and will now undergo a progressive return to train 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.

‘Due to her continued progression and assessment at Arsenal, Frida will not be joining up with the Norway national team for their forthcoming European Championship qualifiers against Finland and the Netherlands.’
