Hull City midfielder David Meyler says he was lucky to avoid "serious injury" after a heavy tackle from Sunderland's Lee Cattermole.

Cattermole saw red for the challenge on Saturday and Meyler tweeted:

Thanks for all the nice messages from both sets of fans. I'm very lucky to escape without a serious injury. #UTT#hawaythelads — David J Meyler (@DavidMeyler7) November 2, 2013
