Arsenal loanee and Charlton star Freya Godfrey carried off on stretcher after horror collision as clash suspended

ARSENAL loanee and Charlton star Freya Godfrey was carried off on a stretcher after a horror collision on Sunday.

Play was suspended for 15 minutes as the midfield ace received treatment during the Addicks’ Women’s Championship game against south London rivals Crystal Palace.

Arsenal loanee Freya Godfrey was stretchered off in Charlton’s game with Crystal PalaceRex

The match was nearing the end of the first half when Godfrey collided with an opponent mid-air.

The 18-year-old required immediate medical treatment as players from both sides were taken off the field.

And it was only after 15 minutes that Godfrey herself was stretchered away to applause from fans.

Charlton and Palace then underwent a short warm-up before resuming the game.

Kayleigh Green was summoned to replace Godfrey.

And fans flocked to X to react to the incident.

One said: “Oh no, hope she’s OK.”

Another declared: “Praying it’s nothing serious.”

One noted: “Think of you Freya.”

Another added: “Hope she is okay, this sounds horrible.”

Godfrey joined Charlton from the Gunners last year and had so far made five appearances for her loan side.

She made her WSL debut for Arsenal in their 4-0 win over Brighton.

And Godfrey is currently starring for England’s U19s following a brief stint at Ipswich Town.
