He added: "Yassine Bounou will not be present against Al-Taawoun. He is close to returning, but it is possible that he will miss two matches as well. For the team, he is an important player, whether from a technical or tactical standpoint."

He continued: “Al-Rubaie was good in the past matches, and achieving victory gives him more confidence, so achieving a new victory will add a lot to him mentally.”

He explained: “We are happy with Neymar’s return to the stadiums. Without a doubt, he is one of the most prominent international names, and everyone wants to see him after his long absence, which lasted for a year. Therefore, we will not rush his return, and I have not yet registered him in the league list.” Be technically and physically ready.”

He concluded his speech: “For us, we do not change our ideas in every match due to the absence of a specific player, because we have players who are responsible.”
