Football Association chairman Greg Dyke believes that Sepp Blatter will be arrested and forced out of Fifa within a "couple of months".
The 68-year-old also said England would not stage the 2018 or the 2022 World Cups, in case they were taken away from Russia and Qatar should corruption claims linked to the awarding of either tournament be proven, the Independent reported.
