Adrien Silva Trains With Leicester City for First Time Following Transfer Deadline Mayhem

Adrien Silva trained with his Leicester City teammates for the first time on Thursday, following the transfer deadline day move from Sporting CP, which fell into chaos after a registration debacle.

According to reports, the now infamous registration paperwork arrived at the FA 14 seconds after the window's deadline, preventing Silva's move from being completed.

Leicester have since lost a registration appeal to FIFA to allow Silva to play before the next window opens. However, as reported by the Leicester Mercury, the player will be allowed to train and play in behind closed doors friendlies.
