“We haven’t been able to play with a natural right-back since I arrived here and so it is a position we needed to find a solution for,” Silva told hullcitytigers.com.
“Omar is a player I know and he has come here to help improve our squad.”
Elabdellaoui is available for selection for Sunday's trip to Premier League leaders Chelsea.
