  5. 'Mental break important for players after worrying scenes'published at 17:11 British Summer Time 31 March

    Former England and Brighton defender on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    We need to realise that the players are human beings and just to get this small mental break more than anything after what has just happened is important.

    They have seen their player go down on the pitch in worrying scenes. Regroup, try and get their heads back into it, and come back to the fact that they are in a cup final and go again.

    Another 30 minutes of extra time to play and a chance to wrap it up before we go to penalties.

    We hope that Frida Maanum is in a stable condition, it's going to have an emotional impact on both teams.

    For Arsenal, the impetus is there. It will mean even more for them to now after losing such a pivotal player.

    Jonas Eidevall has got his players around him in a huddle for what must be a very difficult talk.

    He has to get them in the right headspace. Likewise, it was a harrowing experience for the Chelsea players and fans in the stands.

    We're going to extra-time.

    Everyone's thoughts remain with Frida Maanum but the players at least have a few moments to gather themselves together.

    It feels very weird to be resuming the final as normal, after such a shocking incident. We can only imagine how the players of both sides, but especially Arsenal, are feeling.

    Back to the football...

    All the Arsenal subs are out at the edge of the technical area, watching on from a distance as Maanum continues to get treatment.

    Maanum is not on the stretcher yet, she is still being tended to by medics.

    A stretcher and blankets have been called for. Maanum is still surrounded by paramedics and physios from both teams.

    Play was carrying on as normal as Maanum was on the turf, her team mates in defence did not realise what happened. It needed Jonas Eidevall and other players to flag that something was wrong.

    Frida Maanum is the player down. Very difficult at a moment like this. The teams just have to come together and refocus. It is out of their control.

    It is not clear what happened to Frida Maanum, she went down off the ball. Molineux fell silent, followed by shouts for paramedics to get there faster.

    She is getting treatment from at least 10 medics at present.

    Frida Maanum has gone down off the ball and there's concern from team-mates and the medical staff, who have been called onto the pitch. Both sets of players have come over the sidelines.

    This looks very serious.
