It’s a blow for Liverpool as they aim to bounce back after suffering a 4-1 loss to Napoli in their opening European game this season.
Klopp told reporters: “Robo is no 100%. Very late, 93rd minute, felt it the next day.
“Robo is out. He’s out for at least until the international break.”

Keita has been included in Guinea’s squad for games against Algeria and Ivory Coast later this month but Klopp has insisted the midfielder won’t be playing for his country.
Klopp said: “No I don’t expect him to go on international duty.
“The return date is somewhere October, Ox is the same, and that’s why the two boys are not in the Champions League squad.
