Ings went to ground early in Saturday's game at Bramall Lane and was replaced by Che Adams.
Coach Ralph Hasenhuettl was left frustrated by another injury to his influential striker, but said the problem was not as bad as suspected.
"It's a serious one but not too serious," Hasenhuettl said on Monday.
"I think three weeks it'll be, (I) expect him back after (the) international break."
Ings will miss league meetings away to leaders Manchester City on Wednesday and at home to south-coast rivals Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.
He will also be missing for their FA Cup quarter-final clash at local rivals Bournemouth on March 20.
Ings has scored nine goals in 25 appearances for Southampton this season, but has already spent time on the sidelines.
