Nigerian defender Tiago Ilori is out of favour at Liverpool after failing to seal a switch to another club before the close of the summer transfer market. <br /><br />And despite the fact that he has been registered for the Premier League, the Portugal youth international is set to play for the Reserves in the Premier League 2 until at least when the transfer window reopens for business. <br /><br />On Thursday night, Ilori played the first half of Liverpool&rsquo;s 2-2 draw with Brentford&rsquo;s B team in a friendly game at Griffin Park, meaning it is all but confirmed that he is not in contention to face Leicester City tomorrow. <br /><br />Since his switch to the Reds from Sporting Lisbon, the 23-year-old has not made a single appearance for the club in the top-flight and has been farmed out on loan to Aston Villa, Bordeaux and Granada. <br /><br />Tiago Ilori remains eligible to represent Nigeria and England at senior level though he has caps for Portugal&rsquo;s youth teams and helped the country qualify for the quarterfinals of the 2016 Olympic Games. <br /><br />Igho Kingsley <br /><br />Photo Credit : liverpoolfc.com
