Emery admits top-eight finish in Champions League out of Aston Villa’s hands
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery (53) has spoken in his latest press conference as he prepares to face Celtic in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The Villa boss was first asked about the status of injured defender Tyrone Mings and if his time on the sidelines may lead them to dip into the transfer market.

“We will see (about Tyrone Mings) this afternoon, we are going to train and decide on every player for the match tomorrow.
“Or one player like Lamare Bogarde who has played and helped us. He’s training sometimes as a centre-back and he will have to be ready but we are thinking about letting him leave on loan, he needs more experience to be ready to play with us.”
He was then asked whether he has enough versatility within his squad now if Mings is set for some time away from the pitch.
“We have enough players to compete and feel confident. Some versatile players have to feel comfortable when they are playing. With Lucas Digne, he is an experienced player and he can feel confident playing as a centre-back in case we need like Sunday.
“I am analysing everything, if Tyrone Mings is available he will play.
“I believe in the squad we have. We have injured players but this is somet
hing everyone has.”
