Aminata Diallo is heading to court. A French judge ordered the former PSG midfielder to stand trial for a 2021 assault on then-teammate Kheira Hamraoui.
Five years ago, masked men stopped the pair in Diallo’s car near Paris. The men subsequently beat Hamraoui’s legs with an iron bar while holding Diallo back.
The 31-year-old retired footballer faces charges of complicity in aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy, with investigators alleging she instigated the attack over “violent sporting jealousy.”
Diallo continues to deny any wrongdoing, with her lawyer telling The Athletic his client “remains determined to prove her innocence.”
“These years have been grueling," countered Hamraoui’s lawyer. “It is essential that Kheira Hamraoui is finally given a voice in a trial that reflects the gravity of the offences she has suffered.”
