Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter has undergone minor surgery to treat skin cancer, Associated Press reports, quoting Blatter’s spokesman, Thomas Renggli, as saying that the 80-year-old is at “home and fine”.
After a surgical procedure on his left ear, Blatter spent one night at a clinic before being discharged on Thursday, Renggli said.
Blatter spent several days in a hospital in Zurich last November after a stress-related collapse while he was suspended from duty by the FIFA ethics committee and subjected to criminal proceedings by federal prosecutors in Switzerland.
Blatter’s 18-year stint as FIFA president ended in February when former UEFA official Gianni Infantino was elected.
