Having endured a tough run, Traguil will need the available lot to turn the club's abysmal run into positive results.

Thirteen-time Uganda Premier League champions KCCA FC have confirmed three absentees for their crunch game against arch-nemesis Express FC on Sunday.

KCCA head coach Sergio Daniel Moniz Traguil has revealed new signing Emmanuel Loki, captain Julius Poloto, and goalkeeper Anthony Emojong will miss the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo bout.

"Loki (Emmanuel) still has a dire family situation; he is still unavailable for Sunday," the tactician confirmed.

"Emojong (Anthony) still has a problem with the shoulder; we are still trying to recover (treat)," noted Traguil.

"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.

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.

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).
