The Belgium youngster went off against Leicester on Boxing Day after pulling up with a hamstring strain.
Origi missed out on last night's win over Sunderland and, according to the Liverpool Echo, will be out until the middle of January.
Christian Benteke, who has scored in two games running, is now Klopp's only fit recognised striker with Daniel Sturridge still out of the reckoning and Danny Ings out for the season.
Origi has scored just one Premier League goal for the Reds having joined up with the squad this summer.
He was signed by Brendan Rodgers after impressing at the 2014 World Cup and was sent back to Lille for last season.
He scored a hat-trick in the 6-1 win over Southampton in the league cup before scoring his only Premier League goal for the club against West Brom in the middle of December in the 2-2 draw at Anfield.
Liverpool's win last night over Sunderland took them to 30 points - level with Manchester United - and up to seventh in the table ahead of the West Ham clash on Saturday.
