UEFA published the list of the 23 eligible players for the Nations League opener on its website. Klopp had named 24 players in his first squad, but regulations allow only 20 outfield players and three goalkeepers in the matchday selection.
Klopp did not want to announce his decision at the pre-match press conference in the Johan Cruyff Arena on Wednesday.
"I have already spoken to the player. I can say that the player will definitely be in the next squad," the 59-year-old said.
Attacking midfielder Conté's next chance to make his international debut comes on Sunday in the second Nations League group match against Greece in Augsburg.
Klopp is also planning to keep him in a second, largely different squad for next week's matches against Serbia and in Greece.
