Carew fell out with new Villa boss Gerard Houllier while the two were at Lyon.
“My mission is to work hard day to day to make the starting XI at Aston Villa,” he told The People.
“I do not have problems with the coach. What is done is done and I accept it. My exit from Lyon is in the past.
“Now I am only interested in the present – and I think I will have a chance to play.”
