The Reds defender suffered a groin problem during training on Monday which ruled out of Tuesday’s Champions League game against Porto. Recall that Liverpool thrashed Porto 5-1 with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Frimino netted brace.
The Liverpool boss also confirmed that Thiago will be absent as he continues to recover from a calf issue.
Asked if he had an update on the pair's fitness, Klopp told the club's official website: “No. No ‘news’ means they are doing well but they won’t have enough time for being back against City, but I expect them both to be back after the international break.
“But we have a good team so we still have solutions and we have to use them and yeah, after the international break the boys will be back I think.”
Liverpool are already without midfielders Thiago Alcantara (calf) and Harvey Elliott (ankle), but welcomed back Naby Keita after a foot problem, and have Roberto Firmino available after a hamstring issue
