Salah limped out of the first leg against City after 52 minutes, the Egypt international having set the Reds on their way to a stunning 3-0 victory at Anfield.
A groin problem forced the 25-year-old’s early exit and the 38-goal talisman was not risked for Saturday’s Merseyside derby with Everton in the Premier League.
“We didn’t think about [playing] him, why should I,” said Klopp after the goalless draw.
“I don’t get a ticker every five minutes of how he feels.”
But the German confirmed there is a hope within the club that he will be cleared to return against City.
“That’s what everybody thinks, but we will see,” added Klopp.
