LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) – Sepp Blatter remains in the hospital in Switzerland after what his spokesman called a “small breakdown.”
Spokesman Klaus Stoehlker tells The Associated Press that the suspended FIFA president expects to leave the hospital next Monday.
In a telephone interview, Stoehlker says Blatter “will be back officially in business on Tuesday next week.”
Last Friday, Blatter’s American lawyer told the AP that the 79-year-old Swiss was at a hospital for stress issues. On Wednesday, long-time Blatter aide Walter Gagg told the AP “he was always at the hospital.”
Blatter is appealing his 90-day ban by the FIFA ethics committee over suspected financial misconduct.
