The 79-year-old, currently suspended from his role as FIFA president, consulted a doctor after feeling unwell, and although no underlying problem was discovered he has been ordered to rest.
His personal adviser Klaus Stohlker said: “He has been told to rest for the next five days. It is nothing dramatic, he has not been to hospital. I’ve spoken to him today and he says he will be back in his private office on Thursday.”
Blatter – at the centre of the biggest corruption crisis to hit FIFA – has established a private office outside of FIFA where he has been continuing to work, and an employee there suggested he looked unwell and should see a doctor, according to Stohlker.
His advisor added: “He is not the youngest these days and it has been a difficult time.”
