Wolverhampton Wanderers captain Karl Henry has called upon his teammates to remain focused.
Following the club's relegation to the Championship in April, speculation surrounding the futures of key players - such as Steven Fletcher and Matt Jarvis - has been rife.
Henry, who committed his long-term future to Wolves by signing a new four-year contract last week, is keen to make sure that off-field gossip does not affect the team's on-field form.
He said: "It's not nice to be thinking about losing your best players because we want to keep them.
"But we've had that uncertainty for a few months now and the season has started and we just need to be focused."
Wolves host Burnley at Molineux later today.
