But Klopp is waiting to find out the extent of injuries to top-scorer Salah and defensive talisman Van Dijk, who were both forced off at Wembley on Saturday.
Liverpool had to settle for a point from Saturday's clash with Spurs, one which moved them above Manchester City on goal difference in the points table but having played a game more.
With the Reds' second goal in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Villarreal, Sadio Mane became the third player to net 20 times for the club this season, emulating Mohamed Salah - who teed up the strike for his fellow attacker - and Diogo Jota.
In the Premier League standings, Liverpool are 25 points ahead of defending champions Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
With this award, he has taken his Ballon d'Or tally to six and has become the most successful player since the inception of the award, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo, who had five such awards to his name.
The likes of Lionel Messi, Virgil van Dijk, Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah are among the favourites to lift the award this year.
As far as the women’s Ballon d’Or are concerned, Ada Hegerberg of Norway had won the award in 2018 but may not retain her title as she missed the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
If reports emerging from Spain are to be believed, Messi looks set to add another Ballon d’Or to his cabinet ahead of Dutch star Virgil van Dijk and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Notably, Valverde is not the solitary Barcelona official to go on record, saying nice things about the superstar player.
