Jake Livermore believes his return to the England team, four-and-a-half years after winning his only senior cap, will offer motivation and hope to those suffering difficult situations following his own journey back from the lowest period of his life.
Livermore, 27, is in line to win his second England cap against Germany in Dortmund on Wednesday having won his first against Italy in August 2012.
The West Bromwich Albion midfielder has returned to the senior squad, however, after escaping a two-year suspension in 2015 following a positive test for cocaine.
After testing positive for the substance on April 25, 2015, Livermore was suspended by his then club, Hull City, and the Football Association (FA) until the outcome of a disciplinary hearing.
