The club is in contact with the German Football League (DFL) and the German Football Federation (DFB) about this matter and doesn’t fear any consequences for the players.
After a legal assessment of the facts, it’s assumed “that Silas was and still is in possession of a valid playing licence”.
Stuttgart also expect Silas to receive a new playing permit with his real name in due course.
“I have lived in constant fear for the last few years and have also been very worried about my family in Congo. It was a difficult step for me to reveal my story,” Silas said.
The player joined Stuttgart in 2019 from French second division side Paris FC.
