An unnamed Premier League footballer has reportedly checked into rehab for a laughing gas addiction.

According to the report, the Premier League star is the first footballer to go to rehabilitation for an addition to Nitrous oxide, which is more commonly known as laughing gas.

It has been claimed that the footballer’s family reached out to the club to help with his addiction.

Nitrous oxide is often used in parties and it can create a feeling of euphoria and light-headedness.

According to The Sun, a source said: “His family became aware and asked the club for help. The player was told if he wanted to save his career, he had to go to a specialist residential centre and get some help.

“He's basically undergoing detox in the same way you would if you were hooked on alcohol or any other drug.

“He's the first Premier League footballer to be treated for addiction to nitrous oxide but, given how rife its use is among players, it's unlikely he'll be the last.”

The source added: “One Premier League star recently celebrated his birthday and splashed out on almost £10,000 of canisters. Loads take them because they can't get caught with it in their system.

“It's happening at all clubs and some of those using are very well-known players. I'm not sure any of them know it's now a Class C drug.

“No footballer would dream of having a stash of cannabis in their house, but many have a supply of balloons for them and their pals. They seem to have no idea just how dangerous using it can be.”

According to the Alcohol and Drug foundation, taking nitrous oxide can cause death if there isn’t enough oxygen in the body, which is more known as hypoxia.

It can cause memory loss, weakened immune system, limb spasms, psychological dependence and more.
