An unnamed Premier League ace has reportedly been admitted into rehab following a laughing gas addiction.
The EPL star is the first football player, according to SportBible, to enter rehabilitation for a nitrous oxide addiction—also referred to as laughing gas.
The footballer’s family allegedly contacted his club to ask for assistance with their son’s addiction.
Parties are frequently known to use nitrous oxide, which can make people feel euphoric and dizzy.
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.”

As per the Alcohol and Drug Foundation, nitrous oxide consumption can result in death if the body experiences hypoxia, or low oxygen levels.
It can lead to limb spasms, psychological dependence, memory loss, immune system deterioration, and many other problems.
