Midfielder Adrien Silva, who moved from Sporting to Leicester, will not be able to play for the "fox" in the next four months.

FIFA did not allow Lester to register midfielder Adrien Silva, who joined the "fox" on the final day of the summer transfer window, the Portuguese media reported.

The Portuguese was to replace Danny Drinkwater, who moved to Chelsea, but Lester did not have time to send all the documents on time and requested an additional two hours to register the player.

However, FIFA did not satisfy the request of the English club. It is not yet known whether the 28-year-old midfielder will return to Sporting's location or will train with Leicester.
