English Premier League outfit Leicester City have revealed their frustrations after FIFA refused their appeal to register their deadline day signing Adrien Silva.
Silva was signed from Sporting Lisbon by Leicester City but his move failed to meet the deadline for registration of new players, but Leicester City were hoping to get him registered hence they appealed to FIFA.
However the FIFA’s Players Status Committee rose from their meeting today and backed the decision earlier taken by the English FA in denying them a waiver to register Silva.
While Silva’s case was turned down, MFM forward Stephen Odey had his wish granted as his registration with FC Zurich which failed to meet the deadline day for registration was approved.
Odey is now in line to make his debut for the Swiss side after the international round of games this weekend for the World Cup 2018 Qualifiers.
