BBC SportIt's been a tough start to the season for the Foxes, and even though there are no league matches this coming weekend they've received more bad news today.
World governing body Fifa has rejected the club's attempt to approve the signing Sporting Lisbon midfielder Adrien Silva, saying the paperwork for the Portuguese player came in 14 seconds after the deadline on 31 August.
With Craig Shakespeare's side struggling in 17th position, signing Silva - earmarked as a replacement for Danny Drinkwater, who moved to reigning champions Chelsea - would have been a boost.
Leicester now must wait until January until they can add Silva to their playing squad.
