A rehabilitation clinic in Phoenix, Arizona will reportedly use horses to help England legend Paul Gascoigne battle alcoholism.

The 45-year-old has been admitted to a clinic in the US after he began drinking again, despite recently spending time at a rehab centre in Bournemouth.

The US clinic says that "a horse can become a therapeutic tool by providing a model of predictable, honest behaviour," during "equine-assisted psychotherapy", according to the Daily Star.

Meanwhile, reports have claimed that Gascoigne was spotted drinking beer at the airport when he arrived in the US.
