Poulsen was forced off with an adductor injury after coming on for Denmark against Croatia in the UEFA Nations League on June 10.
A new MRI scan has now shown that the injury is more severe than first thought.
"Of course I'm frustrated with the injury setback and the long time out. I was really looking forward to the new season again after our cup win," said Yussuf Poulsen.
"I will use the time to come back and be at 100% as quickly as possible. At the same time, I will undergo a complete check-up to minimize the risk of future injury as much as possible. Until then, I will support the team as best I can off the pitch."
