Johansson on injuries, Just and 'exciting' Euro tie

European football returns to Fir Park on Thursday as Motherwell welcome HB Torshavn in Conference League qualifying.

Manager Alfred Johansson spoke to the media prior to the first leg. Here are the key points:

• The Motherwell boss is hopeful that some of the glut of injured players will be back for the tie, but said a decision had not yet been made.
• Elijah Just's move to Swansea remains at an advanced stage. The New Zealand international is expected to leave for a club-record fee.
• Johansson sees a "really committed" squad when asked if others may also leave, while saying work is being done to bring more players in.
• New defender Dylan Williams will play a part in Thursday's first leg after joining from Burton.
• The Fir Park boss described it as "exciting" to have such an important game so soon, saying his team "could have been in a much worse position".
• Johansson has faith in the club's young players and the impact they could make after Friday's spirited showing against Genk.
