Arsenal captain Tony Adams has suffered a setback to his first team comeback. He could use his spare time, though.

The 35-year-old had to go off after 20 minutes of a reserve game at Coventry last night after the recurrence of the foot injury that has sidelined him since September. Adams won't be back for first team contention in another two or three weeks, the Evening Standard reports.

In the meantime, the former England captain and recovering alcoholic has been asked to spearhead a drive against professional and personal indiscipline in English football.

Adams and other high-profile players with past troubles, like Paul Gascoigne and Paul Merson, will tour clubs across the country urging young players to avoid their past mistakes, the Independent reports.

Adams spent time in prison after crashing a car while drunk. His battle against alcoholism after breaking down in 1996 inspired his widely acclaimed autobiography 'Addicted'.
