Karim Bellarabi and Patrik Schick will be out of action for weeks, Bayer Leverkusen have announced.

Bellarabi suffered a muscle injury in Sunday's 2-2 clash with Köln, which also saw Schick sustain a ligament injury.

In a statement on the club's website, Leverkusen state that the two attackers 'will probably only be available again after the international break in the middle of November'.

In their next game, Leverkusen face Karlsruher SC in the DFB-Pokal on Wednesday.
