Paris Saint-Germain Féminine midfielder Aminata Diallo has been taken into police custody after being accused of an attempt to injure her teammate in a bid to eliminate competition.
Diallo, who is also a full French international, has had some very serious allegations made against her.
As is reported by French outlet L’Equipe, the 26-year-old is accused of hiring two masked men to drag teammate Kheira Hamraoui from her car and repeatedly hit her in the legs with an iron bar.
The intention, as per the report, was to remove Hamraoui from contention for minutes on the pitch.
Hamraoui had an initial stint at PSG between 2012 and 2016. Having joined Lyon and later Barcelona, she returned to Paris over the summer.
She has now allegedly fallen victim to a grievous plot from one of her teammates. An allegedly deliberate attempt to physically injure her so Diallo could move up in the pecking order.
