After tearing a muscle bundle in mid-June, Silva has been unable to train with his current German team during this summer's training camp. The 53-times-capped Portuguese international should remain sidelined through mid-September. It's nevertheless still possible that a loan-deal would constitute a low-risk option for all parties involved. Unable to establish himself in Saxony, Silva's desire to move to a new club is well established.
