Implementing the current application in Play 2.5.2

I use DI to access my application in game 2.5:

import com.google.inject.{Inject, Provider}
import play.api.mvc._
import play.api.Application

class ApplicationController @Inject()(p: Provider[Application]) extends Controller {
  implicit lazy val app = p.get()
  println(app.hashCode()+"") // Random line to use the injected app
}

I get the following error:

ProvisionException: Unable to provision, see the following errors:

1) Tried proxying play.api.Application to support a circular dependency, but circular proxies are disabled. ...

I went to the game migration guide: https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.5.x/Migration25#Handling-legacy-components

and did as they say to avoid circular dependence, however I still have this error.

I also found a variable called disableCircularProxies that I am not using right now ( http://google.imtqy.com/guice/api-docs/latest/api-diffs/changes/docdiffs_com.google.inject.html ) as I am not I am sure how to do this, therefore, and have found very little information about it.

Any idea how to solve this circular dependency error?

Here is the full stack trace:
