I could have been badly injured, says Meyler

Hull City 1 Sunderland 0

Meyler could easily have suffered a broken leg following the reckless attempt at a tackle from former Liverpool defender Dossena in first-half stoppage time.

Meyler, who twice had to fight back from career threatening knee injuries while he was playing for Sunderland, tweeted: “Thanks for all the nice messages from both sets of fans. I’m very lucky to escape without a serious injury.”
