Paris Saint-Germain player Aminata Diallo has been released from custody ... as police continue to investigate a Tonya Harding-style attack on teammate Kheira Hamraoui.
The Versailles prosecutor’s office just announced Diallo has NOT been charged with a crime ... nor have any other charges been filed at this time.
Diallo and one other person were detained and questioned Wednesday. The second person has not been identified.

Reports claimed the motive behind the hit was due to playing time.
