Outgoing FIFA President Sepp Blatter is recovering this week after being hospitalized in Switzerland for what has been called a stress-related “body breakdown” and a “small emotional breakdown” in several media reports.
The embattled Blatter, 79, was provisionally suspended last month from his post amid the ongoing corruption scandal involving FIFA, the world’s governing body of soccer. He is expected to make a full recovery and be released from the hospital early next week, according to the BBC.
Blatter’s spokesman, Klaus Stohlker, told the Associated Press that the leader is “under a huge pressure.” He initially was admitted to the hospital last week after going to the doctor for a checkup.
