Benedikt Howedes will be out of action for several weeks due to a groin injury, the "Royale Blues" confirmed on Tuesday.

The German international, who was part of the World Cup squad, will not only miss the upcoming UEFA Champions League encounter against Chelsea but also a few Bundesliga matches.

The 26-year-old defender suffered the injury at Schalke's 4-1 loss to Monchengladbach on Saturday. The injury blow is another setback for the "Royal Blues" who wait for their first win of the season.

It is the eighth injured player on Schalke's long injury list, alongside with Joel Matip, Felipe Santana, Atsuto Ochida, Sead Kolasinac, Leon Goretzka and Jefferson Farfan.
