Julian Draxler will be out until January with a hamstring injury he suffered in the opening minutes of Schalke's 1-0 win over Augsburg.
"He was again injured and it looks like a serious muscle injury," said Schalke general manager Horst Heldt. "I do not expect Julian to play any more in this first half of the season."
Draxler first suffered the injury in early September.
