"Phil are Mo are injured, not massively but enough for today (to be) no chance. And (they are) a doubt, at least a doubt, for Everton," Klopp told reporters after the dramatic victory.
Sadio Mane was the only one of Liverpool's "Fab Four" to start against Burnley, and the Senegal international along with Egyptian Salah will travel to attend the Confederation of African Football awards in Ghana on Thursday.
Klopp has no worries about his key attacking players travelling on the night before the Everton game, saying that he respected the prolific duo's decision to attend the ceremony.
"We have everything organised. We have two of the three best African players in our squad. We have to show them respect. If it had been a match day, they wouldn't have asked," Klopp said.
"We sleep in a hotel, they sleep in a plane. That is all the difference... If Mo is not fit (for the Everton game), it will not be for that. For our side, it is just a sign of respect."
The German boss also said newly-signed defender Virgil van Dijk would not be rushed into action for Liverpool as the Merseyside club's aim to get the Dutchman match ready.
