It will be 24 hours at least before we have a better idea, but they are both a worry for us."City will not consider the problem of who is to be the next captain until Horlock is ruled out Nobody took the armband at the Hawthorns. "Somebody should have done so officially but it got overlooked,'' Frank Clark, the manager, said. Kinkladze limped off near the end with thigh and ankle problems.Alan Hill, City's assistant manager, said: "Both must only have 50-50 chances of playing. Bedfordshire police have interviewed Gillingham's Iffy Onuora after an allegation that he assaulted a spectator.. Manchester City could pay a heavy price for the victory they pray will be the turning point of their nightmare season. Their new skipper, Kevin Horlock, and the midfielder Georgi Kinkladze are both doubtful for Saturday's home match with Wolves.

City achieved only their second away win of the season at West Brom on Tuesday night - the first being at leaders Nottingham Forest - but lost both key players with injuries. Horlock, captain for the first time after Kit Symons was relieved of the skippers' armband 24 hours earlier because of fans' abuse, was injured after 35 seconds.The midfielder was carried off with a knee injury following his first tackle, and will receive constant treatment in an effort to play on Saturday. Peter Willis, spokesman for the association, said he was "saddened" by comments made by Geoff Dunford, the Rovers vice-chairman, after the game. Dunford said: "To think that this man is on the Fifa list as a linesman. He is an absolute disgrace to professional football."There was further controversy at Luton where referee Paul Taylor has requested video evidence to show what happened after a 22-man brawl broke out during the game with Gillingham. But he said: "We are aware that there seems to be a short-term problem and we will be checking it out.". The Referees' Association has defended match official Kevin Lynch after he came under fire for sending off five players, including four from Bristol Rovers, during Tuesday night's Second Division game against Wigan at Springfield Park.

We seem to have stumbled from disaster to disaster, which is especially frustrating if you look at the potential here."Venables went on local television last night to explain that although the bank had been "very tough", he still believed he would be successful in attracting more money into the club.Brendan Batson, of the Professional Footballers' Association, said none of the Portsmouth players had approached the PFA about not having received their wages, which should have been paid into their accounts last Friday. We are disappointed that the matter has entered the public forum, when people have been assured it would be dealt with swiftly and adequately internally."She also confirmed that work had been halted on the structure below the Fratton End stand which includes a restaurant, because of the financial problems. "We need to pay the builders, but the money from the Football Trust only arrives in monthly instalments," she said.Fans, including season ticket holders, have been told to await further information as to whether the stand will be open for Saturday's match.The spokeswoman insisted that the problems were nowhere near as bad as 20 years ago, when a fund-raising campaign had to be launched to keep the club afloat.But many supporters seem to have lost patience with the club, who almost reached the play-offs last year, but have since slumped into the relegation zone.John Westwood, a member of the supporters' club who has officially changed his middle names to "Portsmouth Football Club", said: "Everyone respects Terry Venables' abilities as a football coach, but much less so as a businessman. We are owed a lot of money, but that is staggered over time, such as with transfer fees for players we have sold."Mr Venables has been in Australia and a few things have escalated during that time, but now he is back at the helm and involved in meetings with banks and financial people to sort it out.

We have a particular problem this week, but are confident of resolving the situation at the earliest stage."We have got people working around the clock to ease the cash-flow problem. Sunday: Doubles final (1.30); Singles final (3.0); Singles third and fourth place play-off (follows singles final).. The extent of Portsmouth's financial plight was revealed yesterday as the club confirmed they had not yet been able to pay last month's wages to their players and staff. Supporters have also been warned that the Fratton End stand may have to be closed for Saturday's game against Stoke as renovation work has been halted because the builders have not being paid in full. A Portsmouth spokeswoman confirmed that the club have been experiencing a "temporary cash-flow problem", but insisted that staff and players would receive their November wages in the near future.Terry Venables, who was reported to have bought a controlling interest in the club for just pounds 1 over the summer, is meeting banks and financial consultants in a bid to resolve the situation following his return from Australia's failed World Cup qualification attempt last night.But although he has pledged his future to the club, who are currently bottom of the First Division, he admitted there is a continuing "problem with finances".The club spokeswoman, who said this was the first time players had not been paid on time, said: "Our cash-flow problems have been well chronicled We have made no secret of them.
