Isn’t there a tax in France of around 3% for ‘insurance’ against accidents at work which covers these payments?

Did you read the article? It says he maybe entitled to claim the sick pay, not that he has.

Also, it also went on to state professional footballers contributed far more to the fund than was a paid out to them. I'm not going to condone his high salary but he allegedly gives 10% to his church and funds charity work back in Brazil.

It wouldn't be him claiming it anyway, it would be PSG. He still gets paid the full salary by the club it's just that they can reclaim some of it via the social security system, just like any other employer.

This is really shit, tabloid non journalism.
