Nicky Shorey will make his Villa debut in Iceland on Thursday after he claimed the last available place in the squad.
UEFA regulations allowed Villa to register just one new player for the second qualifying round, which meant Shorey's new team mate Luke Young missed out.
With Wilfred Bouma injured, former Reading man Shorey is the only senior left back at the club making his inclusion vital.
Craig Gardner provides cover at right back, so Young will just have to hope his new team mates don't let him down against Hafnarfjordur.
