Sepp Blatter to stay in hospital until Monday after 'breakdown'

Blatter's advisers claim he will still fight the accusaitons against him

SEPP BLATTER is to remain in hospital until next week after suffering what has been described as a "small emotional breakdown".

But his stay will not prevent him from fighting against his provisional ban imposed by FIFA's ethics committee, his advisor has said.

Blatter, 79, the outgoing FIFA president who is suspended for 90 days, was admitted to hospital in Zurich for a check-up due to stress last week and is expected to remain there until the beginning of next week.

Sources close to Blatter said he was admitted after "a small emotional breakdown".

His advisor Klaus Stoehlker said: "He is in hospital but he has just been told to relax for a few days and he will be back to work on Tuesday."
