Mesut Ozil and a group of Arsenal stars face a grilling from manager Unai Emery today after being caught in a 'hippy crack' controversy.
A video released by The Sun on Thursday night shows Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Matteo Guendouzi using balloons apparently to inhale nitrous oxide — a legal high that can cause potentially dangerous side-effects — at a party in London a few days before the start of the season in August.
On what seems to be CCTV footage Ozil appears to fall semi-conscious after inhaling from a balloon, while Guendouzi appears to lose consciousness altogether during what is claimed to be a private party at the exclusive Tape Club in London’s West End. Aubameyang can be seen sucking from a balloon and laughing.
Ozil appears to offer a balloon to midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, 29, who declines to take it and instead sucks on a lollipop.
According to The Sun, Ozil 'looked out of it at one point' and that 'he took a big draw on a balloon then seemed to lose his consciousness and slide down in his seat'. Guendouzi is said to have been 'even worse'.
German defender Shkodran Mustafi was also seen in the footage but was not filmed having any nitrous oxide, while defender Sead Kolasinac, 25, is another among those on camera.
Arsenal have today confirmed they will discuss the matter internally, with Emery set to be involved in the meetings.
The club are then expected to hold talks with the players before deciding whether further disciplinary measures are required.
Other Premier League players have found themselves the subject of such allegations in the past, with Raheem Sterling, Saido Berahino and Jack Grealish among them.
And while the risks from using what is also known as laughing gas from small canisters is generally considered to be low, football clubs are usually unhappy when their players are associated with images such as those published in The Sun on Thursday.
The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs has said the drug 'has the potential to cause harm to users, including death', with nitrous oxide responsible for 17 fatalities between 2006 and 2012.
Arsenal were unavailable for comment on Thursday night but they have made a point in the past of reminding players of their responsibilities as professionals representing their club.
The wild party — to which 70 women were reportedly invited — took place just before the start of the season in August, in the VIP section of the Members Room in the basement of the Tape Club, in Hanover Square, Mayfair.
A dozen players in all are reported to have attended, although there is no evidence any of the others used nitrous oxide.
The footballers are said to have racked up a bill of up to £30,000. Drinks included £2,000 bottles of Dom Perignon champagne, a magnum of £2,000 Ciroc vodka and £2,500 Hennessy VS.
Players were also reported to have left the party at around 4am, some with girls.
Although possession of laughing gas is not illegal, English law prohibits its sale to Under 18s if there is a chance they will inhale it.
Users risk falling unconscious or even dying from lack of oxygen. This happens when the available oxygen for breathing is effectively pushed out by the nitrous oxide.
