"Axel Witsel and Emre Can will definitely not be there. We hope that they will be able to return as soon as possible," Favre said at the pre-match press conference.
Favre will also have to manage without Marco Reus and Dan-Axel Zagadou while reports have claimed that Nico Schulz is set to miss out as well.
The Revierderby will take place at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday at 15.30 CET.
