Kyle Walker has issued an apology after reports emerged
over the weekend that he had taken a 'legal high'.
The Tottenham defender, currently with England on World
Cup qualifying duty, was the subject of front page headlines on Sunday after
photographs emerged of him taking the 'legal high' nitrous oxide - inhaling it
from a balloon.
The incident took place in his native Sheffield during a
night out this summer, and Walker was quick to issue a statement apologising.
"Apologies for not commenting sooner on a story
about me today. I've been training and am focused on Tuesday's game for
England," he said via his Twitter account.
"Now I know the health risks, it was poor judgement
on my part.
"I won't be doing this again and hope that no one
else is influenced into putting their health at risk by my actions."
Walker was named as the PFA's Young Player of the Year in
2012 and has won seven caps for England since making his debut against Spain in
2011.
