Centre-back Lovren missed the Reds’ opening two Premier League matches due to a pelvic issue and Jürgen Klopp expects the Croatia international to miss this weekend’s match and next Saturday’s trip to Leicester City.
However, the manager hopes the defender remains on schedule to be available following next month's international fixtures.
Klopp said: “Dejan is coming closer but he is not really around team training in the moment. I’m not 100 per cent sure what he is doing today because we are the day before the game, so he will not be involved in that [the Brighton] game.
