Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor says he is working hard to regain his form after overcoming personal issues.
The 31-year-old Togo international made his first appearance for the club for almost two months in Sunday's 3-0 defeat away to Manchester United.
"I went through a little bit of a dark moment in my career but now I am back training hard and that's it," he said.
"A lot of things went wrong. We are all human beings. We all go through a lot at certain time of our lives."
He added: "I think I have learned from it. I went through a lot of family issues. Now it is behind me and I am back on the football pitch. I am very glad to be back.
"I am available. I'm not 21 years old any more. I am 31 and I look at things differently. I just have to help my team and show respect for them and show respect for the club."
