The Portuguese insists the team has to start consistently winning games, kick-starting with the Sunday Kampala derby against Express FC.
"I need him for my system; I need him to be honest," Traguil added.
"Poloto (Julius) is also still out with injury, and he's a player that we miss; he's the captain, a leader, and we'll try to recover him as soon as possible so he can help the team and the younger players," Traguil added.

FOOTBALL Sergio Traguil: KCCA head coach reveals why he 'cried' after Maroons defeat
And, speaking ahead of his side's next league tie against Express FC, Traguil has conceded being utterly angry and disappointed with the evening's result.
Having endured a tough run, Traguil will need the available lot to turn the club's abysmal run into positive results.
They have only won twice in the six competitive games played since Traguil assumed the role over three months back.

The Portuguese, with frustration and disappointment visibly engulfed all over him, wandered around the MTN Omondi Stadium pitch, from one end to another, seemingly reflecting on the defeat and, perhaps, a possible way forward.
Despite playing just two games, KCCA sits in the relegation zone, in the 14th place with no point, having suffered defeats to BUL FC (1-0) and Maroons FC (2-1).
