Report: FIFA ethics committee recommend 90-day ban for Sepp Blatter

FIFA's ethics committee have recommended that president Sepp Blatter should be suspended for 90 days, according to reports.

Discussions were held this week after criminal proceedings were opened against Blatter over a £1.3m payment made to UEFA president Michel Platini.

A number of reports claim that the ethics committee have recommended the ban, but judge Joachim Eckert is yet to make a final decision.

If the ban is implemented Blatter's reign as FIFA president, which runs until February, would effectively be over.

The 79-year-old maintains his innocence.
