Football club Paris St Germain have sold special edition jerseys to raise over €200,000 to support Paris hospitals.

The shirt is a replica of PSG's current home strip and has words - 'Tous Unis' (All Together) replace the main sponsor logo. It also features badges pledging support to doctors.

In a Tweet, PSG said they sold 1,500 jerseys through their online store on Thursday night.

All the proceeds will be sent to Assistance Publique Hopitaux de Paris.

"We cannot be grateful enough for the tremendous and courageous work that healthcare staff are doing every day to deal with this emergency," PSG President Nasser al-Khelaifi said.
