Positive indicators are increasing within Al-Hilal regarding the readiness of the Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou to participate in the upcoming match against Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League.

Al-Hilal will host its counterpart Al-Ettifaq on Friday evening at the "Kingdom Arena" as part of the 22nd round of the competition, in a match where the Blues aim to strengthen their lead.

The Saudi newspaper "Al-Riyadiyah" reported that the chances of Yassine Bounou joining Al-Hilal's roster have increased, following a noticeable improvement in his physical condition over the past few days.

The newspaper indicated that the shoulder injury sustained by the Moroccan goalkeeper is not considered serious, as he is currently undergoing an intensive treatment and rehabilitation program to prepare him for the upcoming match.

Bono showed a quick response to treatment, which gives the coaching staff a significant morale boost, as they await the final evaluation that will officially determine his participation before the kickoff whistle.

Bono was absent from Al Hilal's last match against Shabab Al Ahli of the UAE in the seventh round of the AFC Champions League for the elite, which was held at the "Al Rashid" Stadium.

Al-Hilal sits at the top of the Saudi Professional League standings with 50 points, accumulated from 15 wins and 5 draws, continuing its pursuit to maintain the lead.
