Matip has been absent for Liverpool ever since he limped off in their draw against West Brom on December 27 but did return to training on Friday to take part in various drills.
Klopp is confident that the 29-year-old will 'fine' by Monday but claims a return to action against Manchester United would have been too soon.
As a result, Klopp said he would play Jordan Henderson as makeshift centre-back in their top-of-the-table clash with Manchester United on Sunday.
Klopp said: 'Joel could only do part of the sessions since Friday. Now it's Sunday so that's not enough.
'But from tomorrow he will train normally, hopefully everyone will be fine. That's why Hendo plays there again.'
