Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson suffered the problem in the 3-1 win at Brighton but will not require surgery and should be fit for the 2020-21 campaign
Klopp insure he’ll not going to play further in this season.
“He will not play again for the rest of this season, but I’m positive he will be with us for the start of next season. He’s a quick healer.
“It’s not too cool, but it’s the best news we could get.”
Liverpool take on Burnley at Anfield on Saturday and follow that up with games against Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle.
The Chelsea fixture will see them receive the Premier League trophy, and Klopp confirmed that Henderson would be the one to lift it, even though he will not be involved that day.
He added: “It was an awful moment when he left the pitch, we knew immediately. In Germany, we would say that Hendo is an animal, he fights with everything. If he has pain he will never tell you. So you knew something had happened which should not have happened.
“It was a complete mood killer. We won away, and I said to the players we should be happy with that, but then everyone realises Hendo is round the corner [injured]. Everybody felt for him.
Though Klopp wants him to lift the trophy for the reds.
“He deserves to lift the trophy, and he will lift the trophy. No surgery needed, that’s the good news. All the rest, we can make our own decisions. Hendo will lift the trophy.”
Henderson posted on his social media for Liverpool fans.
“Unfortunately following the knee injury I picked up against Brighton on Wednesday I will now miss the last two weeks of the season. However, my rehabilitation will start immediately and I’ll be working hard to be back to full fitness in just a matter of weeks in order to be fully ready for the start of the new season.
Of course it’s not the way I’d have preferred to have finished the season on a personal level but it’s been an incredible campaign for us so far as a team and as a club and I’ll be doing everything I can to support the boys for the final games from the sidelines. I’m sure the lads will ensure we finish the season off on a high.
Thanks to everyone for the messages of support and I look forward to being back our there as soon as possible.YNWA “
