Frei suffered ligament damage in his left knee during Switzerland's 1-0 loss to the Czech Republic in the opening day of the tournament on Saturday, and left the field in tears.
Swiss team doctor Cuno Wetzel said the injury would take at least six weeks to heal.
"Alex Frei knew immediately that he had been hurt badly," Wetzel said.
Frei is expected to speak to the media on Monday.
Wetzel's statement came after the Swiss Football Association had announced on its website that Frei had "suffered a partial tear of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee."
Frei was hurt in a challenge with Czech defender Zdenek Grygera shortly before half-time.
