Yep, I fear so too.

The friendly against Italy is in early February which should come too soon for Micha. A call-up to the ECQ games in March seem more likely IMO.

I think for the time being he's best advised to focus on his club football anyway, especially since a starting spot in Bayer's midfield is far from guaranteed when everyone is available to them.
