Aston Villa manager Remi Garde has told Gabby Agbonlahor he will need to get used to his methods if he is to earn a first-team recall.
Agbonlahor was not named in Villa's squad for last weekend's 2-0 home defeat to Arsenal after only coming on as a late substitute in the 1-1 draw at Southampton.
The 29-year-old, who has failed to score this term, was reportedly left out by Garde after making his feelings known about the Frenchman's training regime.
However, Garde has offered Agbonlahor a route back into the first team and said he is ready to discuss the situation and start again with a clean slate.
Garde said: "For Gabby and for the rest of the team, you know when you change manager, when you change the way of working, when things change maybe suddenly, you don't feel comfortable.
"I feel the choice is there for the moment, but when a player is not selected in the team, like Gabby is for the last time, obviously it creates a little bit of disagreement.
"But disagreements in life or mistakes in life are not definite. Sometimes with disagreements or mistakes you learn and then you say okay, have a discussion and then a new start."
