It was at the end of the match on March 31 that Maanum just collapsed for no apparent reason. During great drama, she received treatment on the field for a long time.
– I just remember waking up and seeing the medical team around me. There were a lot of them. I think anyone would have been stressed out in that situation. That’s the last thing you think should happen when you play a football match, says Maanum, according to Norwegian VG.
She has no memory of the collapse but has seen the images afterwards, this as part of processing the event.
“An unreal situation”
– It is difficult to say what goes through the body, there are many thoughts and many feelings. A special and surreal situation to find yourself in.
She was afraid of what might happen. Now she received professional treatment directly from doctors. It could have been much worse if it had happened when she was alone at home in the apartment.
She has received a diagnosis but wants to keep it to herself. Arsenal came out early on that Maanum has no obvious heart problems. However, her heart activity will be monitored just in case.
Back on the field on Sunday
She was back on the pitch against Leicester on Sunday and received a standing ovation from more than 40,000 at the Emirates.
– It was very emotional, I got goosebumps because an almost full Emirates got up. It was a wonderful welcome back, says Maanum.
