Sporting Director Rouven Schröder stated that, "This is extremely bitter - We have absolute confidence in the squad. We wish Sepp and Rodi a speedy recovery. Both will receive our full support so that they can get back on the pitch as soon as possible."
Frank Kramer's seat is beginning to warm, as newly-promoted Schalke sit 15th with just one win through eight games.
