Brazilian/ Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho might miss more that five weeks of football action.
The player was stretched off during Liverpool 2-0 win over Sunderland at the weekend due to able injury.
Klopp told BBC Radio 5 live: "Phil needs between five and a few weeks until we have him back. We will see. He is not in for tonight and for the next few games."
Coutinho has been the Reds revelation this season after helping his side to stay on top of the league table with five goals and five assists.
Speaking before the clash with Leeds at Anfield, Klopp said: "Phil Coutinho is a really good football player. So if we cannot use him for the next few days or weeks, each team in the world would feel it, that's how it is.
"But of course I can say now there is no excuse for anything. As good as he is, he cannot decide games by himself, even when it looks sometimes like this because he takes the ball, dribbles and shoots.
"But then it's only a goal or whatever, then everybody has to defend so it's really a team performance that we create."
