Klopp has confirmed that Roberto Firmino is in contention to make his final appearance at Anfield on Saturday against Aston Villa.
Fimrino, 31, will leave Liverpool in June when his contract expires, ending an eight-year stay on Merseyside
For 11 minutes straight, Liverpool's travelling fans belted out his 'Si Senor' chant in a tribute to their soon-to-be departing star. Firmino heard it from the bench and couldn't hide a smile
Klopp revealed: "I think he has a chance of playing. We drive home tomorrow and it will be a day off - not for him, but the others - and then Wednesday he will be in team training, that is my information.
"We have to see. The Saturday game is a super difficult game for plenty of reasons. Probably farewell around the game for a few players, and then playing for absolutely everything against the second or third best team in the Premier League for the second part of the season. That's super challenging."
Klopp did, though, reiterate: "In the middle of everything, we have to win the game. But around that, we want to show the respect and appreciation and love we feel for not only Bobby but all the boys who will leave in the summer. It will be a special day with a difficult game in between. We have to make sure we can do both."
As for Firmino's heartwarming reception, the Liverpool manager beamed: "It was so cool. I've never seen anything like that (for somebody who wasn't playing)."
