A Silva lining to Foxes’ struggle

-

LEICESTER CITY’S £22million new boy Adrien Silva is finally training with the club – but still can’t play.

FIFA have banned the midfielder from playing until January after they claimed documents arrived 14 seconds after the transfer deadline.

Boss Craig Shakespear­e said: “He’s training with us. But it would be remiss of me not to plan for the worst-case scenario, which is we don’t have him until January.”

Leicester are to consider bringing in the Court of Arbitratio­n for Sport after failing with their appeal.
