Leicester ace Adrien Silva returns to Portugal while red-tape registration row rumbles on
LEICESTER CITY’S red tape midfielder Adrien Silva has returned to Portugal while his registration row rumbles on.
The player is due to become a father and is due to return to Lisbon as he waits for Fifa clearance.
Silva signed for the Foxes in a late night deadline night move from Sporting.
Foxes bosses are working towards finding a solution.
But at the moment Silva, 28, is in limbo.
And Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare said the player had returned home ahead of Tuesday night's Carabao Cup tie with Liverpool at the King Power Stadium.
Shakespeare explained: “The conversations I’ve had with Adrien so far are very brief.

“But of course, in the back of his mind the World Cup will be concern.
“I think he’s more interested in finding the right solution for here and now.
“He’s gone back to Portugal for the time being.
“He’s an expecting father so he spent a bit of time with his family at the weekend.
“Then we’ll see what the process brings from now on.”
Silva’s wife Margarida Neuparth says she and her husband are relaxed about the delay.
She said: “We are still waiting for an answer, but we are calm, we are a very close family. We don’t fear anything.”
