Kicker have announced that both Nathan Tella and Edmond Tapsoba will be out of action for Friday’s game against VfL Bochum.
Tella could return to fitness in time to face Arminia Bielefeld in the DFB-Pokal semi-final next week.
However, Tapsoba is a week behind in comparison and is only expected to be back in training around then.
The Burkina Faso centre-half could even miss the subsequent fixture against Heidenheim.
There is every chance that Tapsoba will not be back on the pitch until Die Werkself face Union Berlin on April 12.
