The former Malta international was due to start for Chennaiyin, led by former Premier League coach Owen Coyle, against Mumbai but was forced to sit out in a precautionary measure.
Chennaiyin's goal came through skipper Lucian Goian as they will now face one between Goa and ATK in the semi-finals.
Schembri's side will wrap up the regular season with an away game at NorthEast United, next Tuesday.
Last week, Schembri was one of the scorers as Chennaiyin had eased past ATK 3-1.
