This story sounds like its straight out of a movie. Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Aminata Diallo was arrested by French police for her connection to an attack on teammate Kheira Hamraoui.
Allegedly, after a team outing in Paris on Nov. 4 which both Diallo and Hamraoui attended, two masked men pulled Hamraoui out of her car and attacked her legs with an iron bar. Allegedly, the motive was for Diallo to get more playing time. Hamraoui was taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries to her hands and legs and would miss PSG's 4-0 win over Real Madrid on Tuesday.
"Paris Saint-Germain take note of Aminata Diallo's police custody this morning by the Versailles SRPJ as part of the proceedings initiated following an assault last Thursday evening against club players," the team said in a statement. "Since Thursday evening November 4, the Club has taken all the necessary measures to guarantee the health, well-being and safety of its players. Paris Saint-Germain is working with the Versailles SRPJ to shed light on the facts. The Club is attentive to the progress of the procedure and will study the follow-up to be given to it."
