Striker Ginczek faces a six-month layoff after tearing the cruciate ligament in his right knee during the 2-0 defeat against the Bundesliga leaders.
And United States defender Chandler will be sidelined for up to 10 weeks after it was revealed he had suffered an anterior meniscus tear in his left knee against Nuremberg's Bavarian rivals.
The Bundesliga strugglers revealed on their official website that the duo will require operations in Augsburg on Monday.
