Al-Hilal star goalkeeper Yassine Bono has often been discarded off the AFC Champions League games, when Mohammed Al-Owais is available, because this allows The Blues to count on an extra outfield foreigner player.

After the injury of Aleksandar Mitrovic, this would give the chance to the club coach Jorge Jesus to count on an additional outlander in the place the Serbian.

Al-Owais has shown some strong performances whenever he was relied on this season, which could persuade the Portuguese manager to keep him between the sticks in the continental tournament and take benefit of the free foreign spot to include Renan Lodi or most likely Michael Delgado against Al-Ain, next Tuesday, because the team lacks a reliable right-winger to replace the latter, which forces to change Malcom from the behind the striker area to the flank.
