Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Champions League game against Viking at Villa Park (kick-off 20:00 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Johan Manzambi will not be available for selection after picking up a "small injury", but Ian Maatsen and George Hemmings have been in first-team training this week.

• Defensive duo Matteo Ruggeri and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are facing extended periods on the sidelines after picking up hamstring injuries, with the former being ruled out for "two months" and the latter expected to be out for "three or four weeks".

• On the current injury situation, Emery said: "We have enough players. These injuries are not excuses. We will find the solutions we need to get performances, collectively and individually, in each position."

• He is anticipating a "fantastic game" against Norwegian top-flight side Viking, who "had the capacity to draw with Bayern Munich and compete against Stuttgart" in their opening two Champions League fixtures. However, Aston Villa already having six points on the board is "something amazing" and their "challenge" is to keep up their winning European form.

• Emery said he is expecting an "intense game" against a side that likes to "defend in a high press and get aggressive in duels", adding: "They are very compact in defence and they can hold a low block, so it won't be easy to dominate against them. They also want to play in their opponents' box and they are very strong on set-pieces, so we must be so focused in our task for 90 minutes."

• Aston Villa will look to impose their own gameplan in terms of "positioning, duels and chance creation", while also using the "good energy at Villa Park" to their advantage.

• On Boubacar Kamara's performances since returning from a serious knee injury: "He was so unlucky. He had two very hard injuries which kept him out for a long time. He is still getting his fitness back but I'm expecting to see the best of his qualities, maturity and intelligence again. He is a good professional."

• Lastly, Emery would not be drawn on the reports linking Emi Buendia to a new contract. He reiterated that he is "so happy" with the attacking midfielder, but highlighted his "surprise" at the question.
