The Uruguayan has since withdrawn from international duty.
Liverpool now don’t return to action until March 31, when they host Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League in their first outing after the international break.
And with Klopp’s ranks potentially bolstered, we take a look at the changes he could make to his side when Liverpool welcome Brighton to Anfield…
Konate comes back in
Konate has been included in the France squad for the March international break, so should be fit enough to start against Brighton at the end of the month.
He’ll partner Virgil van Dijk, but both of the Reds’ full-back positions are up for grabs.
Joe Gomez and Andy Robertson started on either flank at Old Trafford, with Conor Bradley and Kostas Tsimikas coming on as substitutes.
Trent-Alexander Arnoldis unlikely to be ready to return against the Seagulls after injury, so it will be between the quartet to see who starts once again.
Mac Allister could be ‘dropped’
Argentina take on Costa Rica in an international friendly in Los Angeles at 2.50am (UK time) on Wednesday, March 27, in their second match during the international break.
It would not be the first time that the Reds have been stung by his later returns from international duty this season, after all, though a Sunday kick-off and the extra measures the club took to ensure a swift return to England at least avoid the Saturday 12.45pm kick-off headaches from the first half of the season.
It means the final berth is set to go to either Harvey Elliott or Gravenberch, if not Mac Allister, with the former perhaps the more likely considering the latter has only just returned from his own enforced absence.
Klopp sweats over attack
Mohamed Salah has been spared international duty with Egypt this month and will surely start against Brighton.
But as things stand, the identity of the rest of the attack is rather less certain given Klopp’s injury admission after losing to United.
“Lucho felt his groin, Darwin his hamstring, and Cody has twisted his ankle,” the German confirmed on Sunday, though Diaz and Gakpo remain in their respective nations’ squads for the international break as things stand.
