Midfielder Adrien Silva has returned to Portugal as Leicester continue to wait on his availability.

Portugal international Silva is not allowed to train with the club after FIFA blocked his £22 million switch from Sporting Lisbon because his documentation was received by the FA 14 seconds after the deadline.

Leicester have yet to hear whether the transfer will be ratified, and Silva will continue to be missing when they host Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old has trained with the fitness coaches as the club formalise an appeal but has returned home for now.
