"He had a small heart attack. He is recovering well," said Goh Chen Yuan, an official from the soccer camp, told Reuters.

Goh said Johnson underwent treatment to clear a blocked artery.

He is expected to be discharged in the next few days. Johnson played eight times for England between 1975 and 1980, scoring six times. He won several championships with Liverpool as well as the European Cup in 1981.
