Hamraoui was dragged out of the car and had her legs severely beaten and according to the Versailles prosecutor's office, two individuals were "no longer being detained".

The statement added via Euro Sport:

"The investigation is ongoing in order to identify the attackers and their accomplices."

A 34-year-old man who had been arrested in connection with the attack has also been released by police.

PSG earlier said in a statement:

"Paris Saint-Germain can confirm that Aminata Diallo was taken into custody this morning by the Versailles Regional Police Service as part of the proceedings opened following an attack on the club's players last Thursday evening.
"Paris Saint-Germain condemns in the strongest possible terms the violence committed.
"Since Thursday evening the club has taken all necessary measures to guarantee the health, well-being and safety of its entire women's team.”

5 Eritrean players missing in Uganda

Meanwhile, police in Uganda have launched a hunt for five Eritrea players who disappeared from a Jinja hotel under unclear circumstances.

Eritrea is among the six countries taking part in the ongoing CECAFA Women's U20 Championship tournament which kicked off at the end of October.

However, the team's preparations for the tournament have been plunged into disarray after five of its members went missing from camp.

The incident was confirmed by CECAFA who revealed police have already initiated an operation to track down the players.

Legit.ng earlier reported that French club Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly considering the option of letting Sergio Ramos go after the former Real Madrid defender is yet to feature for the club since his arrival in the summer.

Having spent more than 15 years in the Spanish capital, the Spaniard joined the Parisians on free transfer about four months ago.

He is expected to bolster the club’s defence which already has the likes of Marquinhos and Presnel Kipembe.
