Meanwhile, it should be noted that weeks back, FUFA President Moses Magogo expressed his admiration of Traguil's style of play, stressing that he needed time to gel in at KCCA fully.
And in the team selected to battle NEC, Magera has eliminated each of Traguil's foreign signings, leaving them on the bench.
Brazilian Joao Estevez Gabriel along with the Angolan trio of Bruno Mfulu, Emilson Gonzaga and Etienne Katenga have all been demoted to the bench.
Meanwhile, Magera has brought back the likes of Ashraf Mugume, Faisal Wabyoona and Saidi Mayanja to the starting eleven.
In another boost for the team, striker Muhammad Shaban has overcome an illness that looked to keep out, to make the team.
However, the likes of midfielder Moses Waiswa and goalkeepers Juma Mutebi as well as Derrick Ochan have not made the squad.
