Hull boss Bruce facing short summer break

Hull City boss Steve Bruce faces a short summer break with Europa League qualifiers on the agenda.

Bruce won't be dwelling on Saturday's FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal.

"We've got European football now, and we are going to have to try and enjoy it," he said with a wry chuckle. "Whether we've got the resources and bank power, I ain't so sure.

"There are all sorts of rules, and we've only got 21 players to pick from at the moment. We've got a game in July, and we will have played four times by the end of August, and I'm not sure we're quite ready for that.

"I'm completely gone, and need to get away, so I will tackle all that when I get back. But we have to make sure this isn't the end of the story, after all we've done and all we put into this final, and that is the challenge for us now."
