Mohamed Salah is returning to Liverpool to undergo treatment on the injury he suffered in the 2-2 draw with Ghana in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) last Thursday.
Liverpool and the Egyptian Football Association confirmed the news on Sunday following Liverpool's 4-0 win at AFC Bournemouth.
Mohamed Salah to return to Liverpool from AFCON for treatment on injury
“However long he is out, I think probably everybody sees that it makes sense that he is doing the rehab with us or with our people," Klopp told the club's official website.
Speaking in his post-match press conference, Klopp also hinted if Salah returns to full fitness and Egypt are still in the tournament, the winger could return to AFCON to play for his country.
“I’m not a doctor," he added. "I would say if Egypt qualify for the final and he is fit before the final then probably yes. Why not?
“That's clear, it's the tournament. Ivory Coast, I am sure it is a wonderful country, but we have no people from us there and their people have to take care of the players who are playing, so let's see.”
With Salah out for the foreseeable future, Klopp will be heavily reliant on forwards Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota repeating their impressive performances on the south coast to maintain Liverpool's title charge.
"In the situation we are in without Mo, for example, we have to find a way.
"We have players who can play [on] the right wing, and they can all play [on] the right wing, but which is the best position? And how do we set up the rest around? Darwin can obviously play [on] the left wing, he did [that] before.
"So, we had to make a decision [to] bring Darwin in his position and bring Lucho [Luis Diaz] in his position and ask Diogo to do the job there. Diogo is, how I said, they can all play [on] the right wing, and he did before, but on top of that [he's] a really smart player."
Youngster Conor Bradley also received praise for his Premier League debut performance against the Cherries, after replacing the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back.
"Really, really good," he added. "Very impressive. I can say exactly the same, a wonderful kid, a really hard worker, and a good footballer. He is a defender but he can attack as well."
Bradley's threat going forward particularly caught the eye of Klopp, who was adamant the full-back should have got on the scoresheet.
"He could’ve scored, probably should’ve scored a header. I forgot that. No, he should’ve scored in that situation.
"But anyhow it was a really good game and for the first one, yeah, sometimes you have to forget your first game because it’s just your first one, but no he shouldn’t, that’s a good start."
