FIFA president Sepp Blatter said on Saturday he expects a verdict next month from the committee charged with investigating the corruption scandal which has rocked football's governing body.

"The ethical committee is working on it and will come to a decision during the course of July," said Blatter during a FIFA press conference in Berlin ahead of the women's World Cup, which starts on Sunday.

But Blatter repeated there will be no investigation into the conduct of ex-FIFA vice-president Jack Warner who resigned on Monday.

Both Warner, from Trinidad and Tobago, and Qatar's Mohamed Bin Hammam were provisionally suspended on 29 May by FIFA officials investigating bribery allegations.

Warner, the influential head of the Caribbean, North and Central American Federation (CONCACAF), resigned on Monday, quitting all football-related activities and Blatter says there will be no investigation into the Trinidadian.
