COLLINGWOOD expects to regain key forward Anthony Rocca from an ankle injury for Friday night's clash against St Kilda at Telstra Dome but is resigned to being without No.1 ruckman Josh Fraser.
Fraser suffered a posterior cruciate ligament injury while clashing knees at a centre bounce with Dean Cox - and initially it was thought he could miss up to six to eight weeks.
The Pies are still awaiting results of a scan on Fraser's knee, but club spokesman Nick Hulett told Sportal the injury was at the lower level.
"We are hoping it might only be one to two weeks (out)," he said.
Meanwhile, Rocca, who has been a late withdrawal from the Pies' past two matches due to ankle soreness is tipped to make his return.
"Having the week off (while the Vics played The Dream Team) will have done him the world of good," Hulett said of Rocca's ankle.
