Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Cabaye has apologised to the club's fans for his recent absence from the team.
The Frenchman did not take part in the Magpies' opening two Premier League matches of the season after an unsuccessful approach from Arsenal for his services.
"If the fans were - or still are - mad at me for what happened, then I understand and I apologise to them," he told Newcastle's official website. "I want to come back from what has happened.
"For Newcastle fans, football is their life and I want to say that I am going to give everything - as I have from my first day here - from today until the end of the season."
Cabaye made his return to the side in Saturday's 2-1 win at Aston Villa.
