The Italian FA have confirmed that Lazio youth player Joseph Minala is 17 and not in his 40s as it has been alleged.

An African website called senego.net reported that Minala had told them that he was 41 years old earlier this year and pictures of the player, who admittedly looks much older, went viral with fans finding it incredible he was so young.
Lazio had threatened legal action against anyone disputing Minala's age but the Italian FA said they are satisfied he is the age he says he is after an official investigation.
"The Federal Prosecutor has examined the report and ordered the investigation to be closed,” the Italian FA said.
“There are no doubts about his age. He is 17.”
Minala shut down his social media accounts in February following abuse over his age.
The Cameroonian blocked photos on his Instagram account, deleted his Facebook profile and filtered out Twitter pictures of himself.
He did, however, tweet the following message: "Envy is the weakness of man, and those with a poor soul hurt others when you are in Serie A. Love you! Forza Lazio."
"He had a difficult time growing up. If you talk to him you’ll realise he is in every way a 17-year-old lad," Diego Tavano told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Lazio released a statement earlier in the year confirming the paperwork on his birth is “absolutely legitimate” and registered with the football federation.
“Lazio denounce this latest attempt from hostile figures to throw a sinister light on this club and are prepared to take legal action to 'protect the good name' of the club and its players," they said.
Minala only joined the Italian giants back in December and has already had an awful lot to deal with. Hopefully now he can begin to make his mark on the field.

The 37 PDP House of Representatives members who defected to APC in December 2013 have been ordered to vacate their seats and the House. Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court in Abuja gave the order today while delivering judgment in a suit filed against the defected lawmakers by the PDP. The judge said the lawmakers no longer had any business, morally and legally in the Assembly and so should resign. "Having perused the arguments of counsel and the constitutional provisions, it is clear and unambiguous that the defendants were sponsored by the PDP and won the election on its platform. It is also the court’s opinion that their tenure has not expired and there is no division in the PDP. “The defendants are, therefore, not competent to vote or contribute to any proceedings in the House of Representatives. An order of perpetual injunction is, hereby, ordered, restraining them from altering or attempting to change the leadership of the House of Reps,” ...
