Pope hopes to use experience to help Livramento with England

Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope hopes his experience will be a benefit to some of the younger players in the England team.

Pope made his England debut in 2018 and has won 10 caps, as well as being part of the past two World Cup squads.

"It's nice when you've been here before and you've got that experience," said the 32-year-old.

"Tino [Livramento] has come with me from the club, who is new into the squad, so to be able to help him in any way I can is nice, and I'm looking forward to using that experience - whether it's driving training or just speaking to the lads."

Pope's Newcastle team-mate Kieran Trippier will not be involved in England's upcoming Nations League games against Republic of Ireland and Finland, having recently announced his retirement from international football.

"It's a big hole to fill. He's a top player, a top professional and someone who has represented England at the top level for a long time," said Pope. "He can hold his head really high and be really proud of what he achieved."
