Arsenal have provided an update on Frida Maanum after the midfielder collapsed during their Continental Cup final against Chelsea women.
The Norwegian went down in the 95th minute of the match at Molineux last Sunday and has since had a 'monitoring device fitted'.
There were worrying scenes when the 24-year-old went down off the ball deep into second-half stoppage time.
Play was stopped for seven minutes before she was eventually substituted and replaced by England international Alessio Russo.

Maanum did not go to hospital straight away and travelled home with her team-mates after Stina Blackstenius scored in extra time to win her side the cup.
Fans have been waiting for an update on her condition this week and Arsenal have now provided the latest.
A statement from the north London club says 'there are no obvious cardiac causes' for the collapse.
It also confirmed that she will not be playing for Norway in this international break.
The statement from Arsenal read: "We can now provide a medical update on Frida Maanum.
"Following the incident during The FA Women’s Continental League Cup Final on Sunday, which resulted in 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 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.
"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."
Maanum was conscious and talking after being substituted but was not able to celebrate on the pitch after the victory.
Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall said at the time that the thoughts of everyone involved were with the midfielder.

Eidevall said: "I have been able to have a conversation with her but not on a medical perspective.
"I just checked in with her, how she is doing and telling her that we won and understanding a little bit about the next steps, but I don’t have any medical update.
"Immediately after the game, we don't care about winning, we care about Frida - that is most important.
"But there was nothing we could do to control that situation, we can concentrate on football, and we wanted to make Frida a champion."

Russo also sent her best wishes to Maanum after the match, saying: "It's devastating to see one of your team-mates go down like that. We're all wishing and praying that she's OK.
"I think it was written in the stars that her best mate went and scored the winner for her.
"Frida is a massive player and plays with every bit of her body. She did that today. We just hope she's OK."
