Borussia Dortmund will be without captain Sebastian Kehl for the Ruhr valley derby at Schalke 04 after he picked up a hip injury in the warm-up for Thursday's 4-3 Europa League win at Karpaty Lviv.
"It is not realistic for me to think I can play in the derby (on Sunday)," the midfielder told the club's website. "I think I may even be out a bit longer than that."
Hamburg SV keeper Frank Rost is likely to be fit for the city derby at promoted St Pauli on Sunday after needing knee stitches during last week's 1-1 draw against Nuremberg.
"As far as I am concerned he is able to play," said coach Armin Veh.
