FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who only three days ago faced charges of criminal mismanagement and misappropriation from Swiss investigators, is due to speak with staff members Monday.

The 79-year-old is back at work in Zurich, and is scheduled to make his address at 4 p.m. local time (10 a.m. ET). The meeting, according to the Associated Press, is said to be a "regular gathering" that happens every month.

Blatter risks a possible suspension from FIFA's ethics committee, which could force the president to cede his position earlier than thought.

He had already announced he would resign and allow a new election to take place in February following a barrage of corruption allegations.
