FILE - In this Aug. 11, 2019 file photo Hamurg's Bakery Jatta waves to fans after a match of Chemnitz against Hamburg in Chemnitz, Germany. Hamburger SV has reinforced its support for midfielder Bakéry Jatta as the dispute over his identity continues to inflame tempers in Germany’s second division. The affair began with a report by Sport Bild magazine suggesting that Jatta – who became the first refugee to play in the Bundesliga when he made his debut for Hamburg in April 2017 – has been playing under a false name and is in fact two years older than he claims to be.
