'I don't take it for granted' - Arsenal star Frida Maanum insists she has taken the positives from terrifying Conti Cup final collapse amid fine form

Tottenham Hotspur Women

Arsenal Women

<p>On March 31, the Norway international <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/worrying-scenes-arsenal-chelsea-conti-cup-final-frida-maanum/bltb23fe3e700364ba5" target="_blank">went down off the ball late in the game</a> - which Arsenal went on to win 3-1 - and underwent tests, which revealed that there were <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-update-frida-maanum-testing-cardiologists-collapse-conti-cup-final-chelsea/blt0239def591513f9a#cs107d76b0532619c3" target="_blank">no "obvious cardiac causes"</a> behind her collapse.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Maanum is back on the field for Arsenal and off to a great start this season. After netting the decisive goal in a Champions League tie against Rosenborg, she netted an early opener for the Gunners as they started their Women's Super League campaign with a 2-2 draw against Manchester City.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The 25-year-old says her perspective has changed since her collapse earlier this year as she took the summer break to reflect.</p><p>"Every time I step on the pitch, if it’s a training session or if it’s a game, I don’t take it for granted, because obviously it was hard to go through that time," she told <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/sep/25/arsenal-frida-maanum-every-time-i-step-on-the-pitch-now-i-dont-take-it-for-granted" target="_blank"><em>The Guardian</em></a>. "It was important for me to get time off in the summer to reflect over what happened, but I feel even stronger going into the season after the last season and what happened in the final.</p><p>"It’s something I obviously wouldn’t want to happen but, at the same time, I’ve got a lot of positive things out of it, in terms of taking every opportunity, every training session, every game as it is, because I know not everyone has the opportunity to do what I’m doing after having had that happen."</p>

WHAT MAANUM SAID

<p>Arsenal are in action again on Thursday when they take on BK Hacken in the second-leg of their Champions League qualifying tie, and Maanum will hope to maintain her good form. The English team are 1-0 down from the first leg.</p>
