The England midfielder limped out of a 3-1 victory at Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday after damaging his left knee in a challenge with Yves Bissouma.
At a Friday news conference, Klopp revealed Henderson will play no further part in the champions' bid to break Manchester City's record Premier League points tally of 100.
The former Sunderland man will not require surgery, however and his manager is optimistic he will be fit for the start of the 2020-21 season.

The Croatia centre-back has been sidelined with a knock but could feature against the mid-table Clarets.
