Members of Fifa's ethics committee have recommended the sanction after the Swiss attorney general opened criminal proceedings against Blatter.
     He is accused of signing a contract "unfavourable" to football's governing body and making a "disloyal payment" to Uefa president Michel Platini.
     Blatter, who has run Fifa since 1998, and Platini, who wants to succeed him, deny any wrongdoing.The investigatory chamber of Fifa's ethics committee has requested the ban and a final decision is likely to be made on Thursday by Hans Joachim Eckhert, the head of Fifa's ethics adjudicatory chamber.
     Blatter's adviser Klauss Stohlker told BBC Sport: "The news was communicated to the president this afternoon. He is calm. Remember he is the father of the ethics committee.
     "This is provisional for 90 days but he is not actually suspended. The committee has not yet made a decision and their meetings continue."
