Midfielder Thiago Alcantara has also been ruled out of the table-topping clash.

“They are doing well,” said Klopp. “But they won’t have enough time for being back against City.”

“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."
