The 31-year-old central defender has made 16 appearances in the league this season, but tore ligaments in his knee during the club's mid-season training camp in Spain.
Pogatetz was taken to hospital to assess the injury and although the problem is not season-ending, he will miss more than a month.
"Surgery, however, is not necessary," the club confirmed on their official website.
"The defender has to wear a plaster splint and will start rehabilitation in Nuremburg on Monday."
