Bounou will miss the Al-Taawoun clash. He picked up the injury before the Neom match in the last round, a game "the Boss" lost 0-2.
Al-Deayea addressed the issue on the programme "Doreena Ghair": "Al-Hilal will not be affected by Bounou's absence in the clash with Al-Taawoun, as we have Mohammed Al-Owais, the Saudi national team goalkeeper."
He added: "Al-Owais has great abilities. It is true he was criticised in the last match, but he remains a top goalkeeper and will give us great strength in the coming period."
He concluded: "Al-Hilal is not affected by the absence of anyone in goal, and I hope we achieve a win against Al-Taawoun."
