David Meyler has claimed that dealing with the off-field disruptions at Hull City has not been a problem.

The Tigers lost manager Steve Bruce three weeks before the start of the season following frustration caused by the owners' failure to strengthen a squad reduced to 13 senior players by injuries.

Despite their troubles, Hull boast a perfect record two games into the new Premier League season, following victories against Leicester City and Swansea City.

Meyler told Sky Sports News: "It's not difficult to focus on the football. We're professionals and our job is to go out and represent Hull City.

"Our job is to win football matches, I think the squad understand that. Everyone who has been involved in the games has set a high standard and we just need to keep on doing that."

Hull's next fixture is away at Exeter City in the League Cup on Tuesday.
