Leicester City boss Craig Shakespeare says he's tried to include Adrien Silva with the squad while they wait for his move from Sporting CP to be cleared.

Silva has been working with strength and conditioning coaches at City and Shakespeare said he is keeping himself fit while they wait for the situation to be resolved.

The City boss has also tried to integrate him with his new team-mates, inviting him into the changing room after the Carabao Cup win over Liverpool.

“I invited him into the dressing room on Tuesday after the game and to see how he responded to meeting his team-mates, and being in and around them," said Shakespeare.

“I can't wait to get the all clear to get him out on the training pitch. He is training on his own at the moment.

“The process is in place and the quicker we get an update on that the better for me and for him.

“I popped in and have a look to see how he is while he was training. There are only so many sessions you can do on a bike and only so many sessions you can do inside.

“He gets frustrated but he understands the process is in place.

“He is doing a bit of both (inside and out), because you can go stir crazy just training inside.

“When he looks outside and sees the English weather and it is raining he asks can he stay in! But he is quite happy to come outside as well."
