Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are once again at the center of all the attention, but this time for all the wrong reasons. The club has confirmed that their women star Aminata Diallo is in police custody after attack on fellow teammate. The identity of the player was not initially revealed, but reports from local media have confirmed that Diallo attacked her fellow teammate Kheira Hamraoui in an attempt to stop her from playing.
A club statement read, “Paris Saint-Germain acknowledges that Aminata Diallo was remanded in police custody this morning by the Versailles SRPJ as part of the proceedings initiated following an assault last Thursday evening against the club's players.
Two alleged men attacked Diallo
According to Versailles SRPJ, the attack took place last Thursday in the streets of the French capital and two alleged men attack Diallo’s fellow teammate on her directions. While the investigation was carried on the unidentified suspect she participated in PSG’s Champions League encounter against Real Madrid. It was later confirmed by the authority that the attack was a result of the conspiracy planted by the French International.
"Paris Saint-Germain condemns in the strongest possible terms the violence committed. Since the evening of Thursday, Nov. 4, the club has taken all the necessary measures to guarantee the health, well-being and safety of its players.
"PSG is working closely with the Versailles SRPJ to shed light on the facts. The club is paying close attention to the progress of the proceedings and will study what action to take."
A seven-time French International, Aminata Diallo is likely to face further sanctions from the club. She is most likely to be released from the club awaiting police investigation report. PSG have avoided making any further statements until the investigation report is released. The club has wished Hamraoui to recover soon as they need their former U-19 European champion to be back on field again.
