Sepp Blatter to remain in hospital until next Tuesday

Suspended FIFA president Sepp Blatter is to remain in a Swiss hospital until next Tuesday after what his spokesman called a "small breakdown" related to stress.

''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,'' Zurich-based spokesman Klaus Stoehlker told the AP on Wednesday.

Blatter,79 who has led world football's governing body for 18 years, was provisionally suspended for 90 days last month amid a corruption scandal.
