The midfielder last night apologised for his “severe lack of judgment”.
He had headed out to party following his side’s last pre-season warm-up match against Bayern Munich in North London on Saturday evening.
During a raucous booze-fuelled night, the star, 27, was seen taking nitrous oxide in a chauffeur-driven limo carrying him and pals.

Possession of laughing gas with intent to get high was made illegal last year, with repeat offenders facing up to two years in jail and an unlimited fine.
A witness said: “It beggars belief any Premier League star would openly take hippy crack. It’s a criminal offence and Yves now likely faces a police probe, let alone severe club sanctions.
“The new season kicks off next weekend and he has let down every single Spurs fan.
"Boss Ange Postecoglou will see red. Sharing the footage himself is utterly brainless.”
