There's reports that Portsmouth chairman Sulaiman Al Fahim has been admitted to hospital in Dubai.

The 32-year-old, who took control of the Fratton Park club after a protracted takeover saga in the summer, was taken into hospital late on Thursday night.

It is understood that Al Fahim is undergoing tests and remains under the care of medical staff.

Photographs obtained by Arabian Business show the Pompey supremo in the hospital, with one published picture purported to be of his medical tag.

Al Fahim has pledged to refinance the troubled club with £50million of investment in the next few weeks.

Portsmouth have endured a dismal start to the new season, becoming the first side in Premier League history to lose their opening seven games.

Manager Paul Hart saw several big-name players sold during the summer to stabilise finances before embarking on a late recruitment drive as the transfer window drew to a close.

The club were forced to confirm on Thursday that their first-team squad and board members had not been paid September's wages, although they insist the matter will be resolved in the next 24 hours.
