The 28-year-old will be a guest of the club despite his move from Sporting Lisbon being blocked by FIFA because his registration landed 14 seconds late.
Silva has been left in no-mans land while Leicester and the Portuguese club tread through a legal minefield trying to sort the matter out.
Foxes boss Craig Shakespeare revealed that he can’t even train with Leicester until the matter is sorted but is living in the city.
He’s being kept fit by his brother Jeremy who is a renowned fitness coach.
Shakespeare said: “Where are we at? We’re all asking that question. My thoughts are with the player on this.
“It’s all up in the air but it’s important to try and keep a level head about it.
“I would love the player to be with us, but we need to let other people deal with it.”
Meanwhile, Leicester are interested in free agent Bacary Sagna.
