\u2018I\u2019ve not seen anything and I\u2019m sure if it was something serious my agent would\u2019ve let me know.<\/p>\n

\u2018I really do enjoy coming away with the team. We’ve a great manager (Lee Carsley) who stayed in contact with me when I was injured to make sure that I was in a good place.<\/p>\n
\u2018I have a lot of respect and love for the England setup because I’ve been through every age group here.\u2019<\/p>\n
Newcastle spent \u00a332million on the full back in the summer after almost a year out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury and Livramento believes he now understands his body properly.<\/p>\n

Livramento has been finding his feet as he recovers from a major injury at new club Newcastle<\/p>\n
\u2018You get games where you don\u2019t feel 100 per cent but I know with the big injury that I had whether something\u2019s serious or it\u2019s something I can play on,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
\u2018The move was a tough decision, don\u2019t get me wrong. Anyone in my position, to have that opportunity, would do what I\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s a new experience, not only a new club but a new part of England all the way up north. It\u2019s been exciting.<\/p>\n
\u2018There are a lot of fans you see when you go out for a coffee but they\u2019re always respectful, nice and kind. It feels like a family up there, everyone loves you.\u2019<\/p>\n
