Stormers flanker Burger, capped 68 times by his country, injured his knee at the end of February but there has been no progress in his rehabilitation according to Allister Coetzee, his club coach.
"The position with Schalk is very frustrating and we are going to get a full assessment shortly from a physician on where it should be taken from here but you can take it as read that we won't see Schalk play before the end of this season," said Coetzee.
Meanwhile, in-form Sharks back Pietersen, a veteran of 45 Tests, suffered a fractured thumb during his side's Super Rugby final defeat to the Chiefs.
He will undergo surgery on Wednesday and has been replaced in the squad by Stormers centre Juan de Jongh, who was a controversial omission by 'Boks coach Heyneke Meyer from the original squad in the first place.
"We decided to pick Juan as he provides midfield cover, an area where we are perhaps a bit thin now that JP is out," said Meyer.
"Losing JP is obviously a massive blow as he's been playing some superb rugby lately, but Juan has also been in good form for the Stormers and was one of the unlucky players to miss out on initial selection."
