Though Paris Saint-Germain did not name the player,ESPN reportedthat the teammate attacked was Kheira Hamraoui, 31. Sources told the outlet that Hamraoui was riding in Diallo’s car with other teammates after leaving a team dinner in Paris last week. When the car was in front of Diallo’s home, two masked men dragged Hamraoui out of the car and began hitting her legs with iron bars.
