The 20-year-old joined Schalke on loan from Liverpool this summer and he had been a regular since that, making four Bundesliga appearances.
On Sunday, Van den Berg left the field on a stretcher as Schalke lost to Augsburg and the defender was taken to hospital. They discovered that the versatile centre-back had suffered ligament damage.
Van den Berg will no longer play in this calendar year.
