Collingwood's Josh Fraser remains confident of playing against St Kilda on Friday night despite injuring his knee in last Saturday's Hall of Fame tribute match.

The ruckman saw a specialist this afternoon, who confirmed he had strained a ligament in his right knee.

The Pies had feared he would miss up to a month of the AFL.

Fraser says he hopes to be able to prove his fitness later in the week.
