Paris St-Germain women’s midfielder Aminata Diallo was taken into custody for questioning by the Versailles Regional Police Service after a suspected attack on one of the club’s players last week, the French club have confirmed.


L’Équipe had reported that Diallo’s teammate and fellow midfielder Kheira Hamraoui had been dragged out of a car and assaulted by two masked men on 4 November.


While the proceedings seem to be ongoing in this case, it is important to realise that if Diallo is found guilty, the right action should be taken. It would only improve how women's football is viewed and it'll help the appeal of the sport as a whole.
