Supreme poster among women, the shock OL-PSG, programmed at Parc OL and broadcast on
Canal +
, benefits from a spotlight which its actresses would ultimately have gone well. The middle of the round ball remains stunned after the ambush of which Kheira Hamraoui was victim last week, information revealed by the daily L'Equipe on Wednesday, shortly after the arrest of his teammate Aminata Diallo, witness of the scene heard for two days by the police, before being released.
On November 4, the 31-year-old French international, brought home by Diallo after a team dinner, was pulled from the vehicle by two masked men who "
beat her on the legs with an iron bar
" before fleeing, explained the prosecutor of Versailles.

"Above all mental"
The Parisian group, informed of the attack, had solid nerves on Tuesday against Real Madrid, winning 4-0 the shock of his group in the Champions League, in front of the 18,000 spectators of the Parc des princes and with titular Diallo, in the absence of Hamraoui.
The first obstacle passed and, already, all eyes were on Lyon.
“
There will be a great stadium again, again a crowd, again a great team. The Lyon match will be above all mental,
”then predicted coach Didier Ollé-Nicolle, a formula which takes on greater meaning after subsequent developments. The following days, the club found itself in the eye of the storm with the arrest of Diallo and his extended interrogation, coupled with the custody of an acquaintance, in pre-trial detention in Lyon. Another PSG international, Sakina Karchaoui, present in the car with the two players at the start of the journey, before the assault, was also heard by investigators.
The police concentrated for a time on the track of a sporting rivalry, between Hamraoui the holder and Diallo the replacement who evolves in the same post, a hypothesis which surprised internally where the two women are described as "
friends
".
Diallo, 26, "
formally contests
" the accusations having targeted her and "
deplores the perfectly artificial staging of a rivalry between her and Kheira Hamraoui which would justify her attacking her teammate
", d '' moreover supported his lawyer Mourad Battikh, in a press release sent to AFP.
Report refused
Upset by the case, PSG canceled its media activities before the meeting in Lyon, which he tried to postpone. The French Football Federation, organizer of the championship, rejected the request, formulated late. The clash between OL and PSG, two perfectly launched teams in the league (7 wins each), will therefore take place as planned on Sunday, four days before a trip to the Parisiennes on Thursday (9 p.m.) to the Alfredo di Stefano stadium in Madrid for the second round against Real.
The capital club will rely on its prolific striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto to try to shake the defense of Christiane Endler.
The Chilean goalkeeper, passed from PSG to OL in the offseason, wore the armband on Wednesday against Bayern Munich (2-1) in the absence of captain Wendie Renard, still in the infirmary.
“
They are going through a very difficult time but they are professionals above all and know how to put things right.
It will not be an obstacle for them,
"Endler said on Saturday, portraying her ex-partners as"
great competitors
. "
Unsurprisingly, on the Parisian side, Hamraoui and Diallo do not appear in the group of players selected for the trip to Lyon.
