ZURICH: Sepp Blatter, the disgraced former president of world football federation FIFA, is reported to be undergoing care and treatment in hospital in Switzerland.

His daughter Corinne Blatter Andenmatten told local media: “My father is in hospital. He’s getting better every day. But he needs time and rest.”

Blatter, 84, is apparently in a serious but non-life-threatening condition.

Blatter was removed from office in 2015 after 17 years as supremo of FIFA which hde joined originally as development director in the mid-1970s and was subsequently general secretary.

He was suspended from football for six years over a contentious $2m payment to then UEFA president Michel Platini in 2011.

Both men are subject to a criminal investigation over the payment.
