PSG player Diallo denies attack on club colleague
Aminata Diallo was recently accused of attacking her teammate Hamraoui. Now there was a statement from the defendants.
France’s national player Aminata Diallo denies her involvement in the violent attack on her teammate Kheira Hamraoui at Masters Paris St. Germain. The French news agency reported AFP according to a statement by the 26-year-old’s lawyer. Diallo was arrested on Wednesday in connection with the attack and released from police custody after 24 hours.
Diallo “hopes the judicial authorities will quickly complete their investigations”. She is “sure that this will prove her complete innocence in the end,” the statement says. She condemned the “completely artificial suggestion of a rivalry between her and Kheira Hamraoui, which would explain why she was targeting her teammate.”
PSG: Diallo with criticism of the media
In addition, Diallo criticizes “the speculations of the media, which they have already condemned without making a statement. They will not hesitate to take legal action.” In her eyes, she felt it was unnecessary to fix it overnight, since she “could have made a statement even without compulsion.”
According to the trade newspaper The team Diallo is said to have gone home with Hamraoui last Thursday after a club dinner when strangers attacked Hamraoui with an iron bar. The midfielder suffered injuries to her thighs and shins, but is said to have not sustained any serious damage.
It is still unclear whether Diallo is really behind the attack on Hamraoui. In addition, a man who is closely connected to Diallo is in prison in Lyon in connection with the crime.
AFP According to Paris, where the German national player Sara Däbritz is under contract, also asked the French Football Association to postpone the league game against Olympique Lyon on Sunday after the attack became known.
