Italian giants Lazio have been forced to release  official documents to prove that their player, Joseph Minala is in fact 17 years old and not really a man in his 40s.

Lazio also threatened legal action after having a Senegalese news reported that the Cameroonian footballer was actually 41. Lazio and Minala's agent have produced paper work to prove Minala is in fact 17.

"Lazio denounce this latest attempt from hostile figures to throw a sinister light on this club. We reserve the right to take action against those responsible for the protection of the good name of the company and the footballer.' the club said in a statement.
