Former AFL star Ben Cousins has spent a third night in a Perth hospital after hitting his head while undergoing rehab at a specialist clinic.

The confessed drug addict is believed to have fallen and hit his head on a washbasin and the floor, suffering injuries to his head and neck.

The 33-year-old was taken on Monday to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in the city, where he remains in a stable condition.

A spokeswoman for the hospital said Cousins will remain there on Wednesday night and his condition will be checked in the morning.

Cousins was one of the most decorated West Coast Eagles players, winning the 2005 Brownlow Medal and playing in their 2006 premiership side before the club sacked him in late 2007 because of his drug addiction.

He was suspended for 12 months by the AFL for bringing the game into disrepute before ending his playing career with the Richmond Tigers in 2010.

He welcomed his first child, Bobby Ernest Cousins, with partner Maylea Tinecheff in September.
