Schalke duo Jefferson Farfan and Benedikt Howedes both sustained injuries while on international duty, with Farfan expected to be out until January.
The Peru international striker sustained a torn ligament in his knee during a 2-0 defeat against Ecuador in World Cup qualifying and has been told he will need four weeks of rest before beginning rehabilitation work.
Howedes suffered a similar injury for Germany in the team's 3-0 friendly win over the Netherlands, although further tests will be done on Thursday to determine the severity of the injury.
