It did not name the injured player.  âParis 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,â the club said. Diallo replaced her injured teammate, Kheira Hamraoui, for a European Champions League game Tuesday against Real Madrid. The French sports newspaper LâEquipe was the first to report that the arrest was in connection with a violent attack on Hamraoui, a PSG midfielder, last Thursday. After a team dinner organized by PSG, Hamraoui was in a car driven by Diallo when two masked men are alleged to have appeared around 10:30 p.m., pulled her from the passenger seat and hit her in the legs with an iron bar, the newspaper reported. The assault lasted a few minutes, and the attackers fled, LâEquipe reported, citing sources familiar with the incident. Hamraoui, 31, suffered injures to both of her legs and hands, the newspaper reported.   Quote
