After the friendly win against Mainz, asked if the pair would feature in the upcoming game post-match, Klopp admitted to LFC TV: "Yeah, it would still be a surprise, unfortunately.
"But they look really good.
"We just have to be patient – we prepare for a full season, not for a pre-season game.
"I will not risk it for a game here, so we have to see," stressed the 54-year-old.
"We have a lot of games still coming, pre-season games, but I don't see them being involved for the next one."
