A brutal attack shakes Paris Saint-Germain. Midfielder Aminata Diallo is on remand because she apparently instructed two men to forcibly attack her teammate. She herself is present at the attack.
Aminata Diallo will no longer play football for the time being. Instead, the French footballer from Paris Saint-Germain has been in jail since police arrested her after attacking a teammate. The authorities in Versailles are investigating after an attack against Diallo last Thursday.
“Paris Saint-Germain can confirm that Aminata Diallo was taken into custody this morning by the Versailles Regional Police as part of the investigation into the attack on the club’s players,” said PSG on its website.
The club, with which the German national player Sara Däbritz is also under contract, also declared to condemn “the acts of violence in the strongest possible way”. As the French sports newspaper “L’Equipe” reported, the 26-year-old is said to have commissioned an attack on her teammate Kheira Hamraoui so that she could get more playing time herself.

The incident occurred last Thursday evening after a team evening for the players near the Bois de Boulogne, said PSG. The club then took all precautions to ensure the safety of the players.
Beats on the legs and hands
In investigating the incident, you are working with the police, the consequences are being examined. According to “L’Equipe”, Hamraoui is said to have been dragged out of her car on November 4th by two masked men and attacked with a metal bar. She was beaten on the legs and hands. Diallo is said to have sat as a passenger in the car.
It is still unclear whether the French international is really behind the attack on Hamraoui. There is no charge. Hamraoui was absent from the Champions League group game against Real Madrid on Tuesday evening for “personal reasons”, according to the club.
The case brings back memories of one of the most spectacular scandals in sports history. In 1994, the American figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was injured in the knee by an assassin with an iron bar. The client was Jeff Gillooly, the husband of Kerrigan’s fiercest rival Tonya Harding at the time.
