The well-being of suspended FIFA president Sepp Blatter has been called into question following reports he suffered a "medical incident" last weekend in his native Switzerland.

Sky News correspondent Paul Kelso cited Swiss radio reports concerning the incident, and a spokesman claimed they were "optimistic" Blatter's condition will improve.

CNN's Harry Reekie confirmed the 79-year-old at no point travelled to hospital, and the incident was said to be stress-related:

#Blatter's spokseman just told me 'Sepp NEVER in hospital and was being evaluated at home. He was advised to rest due to stress'.
