England face Malta on Oct. 8 and Slovenia on Oct. 11.

"Adam felt it, tried it again and it didn't work. In this moment they (Lallana and Dejan Lovren) have no chance for the national teams," Klopp told the club's website (www.liverpoolfc.com).

"But hopefully 15 or 16 days should be enough to bring them back on the pitch."

England's caretaker boss Gareth Southgate will name his squad on Sunday.
