Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson both missed Liverpool's first game back after the lockdown against Everton on Sunday.
Salah sat on the bench, while Robertson missed out of the squad due to minor knocks.
Ahead of the Merseyside Derby, Klopp spoke exclusively to
Liverpoolfc.com for the
new Match Centre, and provided an update on the players.
“There are different reasons for the line-up," said Klopp.
“It’s a really special time and in this time, after four weeks’ pre-season and preparation, we cannot ignore that we play again on Wednesday. I just can’t. It’s not the last game of the season, so I have to think a little bit about it.
“Some players couldn’t train in the last week – they trained, but not with the team – like Mo and Robbo, but yesterday they were in training and both looked really good. That’s why Mo is in the squad, Robbo not yet but on Wednesday [he will be] again.
“For Robbo, it was better to have a proper session today and then be in for Wednesday, and for Mo it is the right thing to do it like this.”
Liverpool's upcoming game will be against Crystal Palace on Wednesday, June 24.
