The Germany midfielder was on Tuesday sent to Munich for a MRI scan on his knee upon arrival on international duty,and results showed damage to the joint of the left knee.
A statement on the German Football Association website read: "The MRI examination revealed a partial rupture of the outer band of the left knee joint.
"The treatment is... six weeks of immobilisation of the knee joint. Mesut Ozil is likely to be [out for] 10 to 12 weeks."
