The former Liverpool youth winger, now 25, is set to line up for Guinea-Bissau as they begin Group F against Cameroon on Tuesday. Since leaving Liverpool seven years ago, Silva has played for eight clubs - from Dagenham and Redbridge to Turkish second division side Şanlıurfa SK. "I'm just trying to play football to support my family but I'm not sure how much longer I can take it. Instead, Silva had to watch on as one-time youth colleagues Sterling, Conor Coady, Jack Robinson, Jon Flanagan and Suso were handed chances. "Baciro Cande is a very competitive guy and he has made history for Guinea-Bissau," Silva said.
