Chamberlain has been out of action since suffering with a very serious injury last season in the Reds' Champions League semi-final win over AS Roma.
There's been some footage of the England international working with a ball in Dubai and that has understandably excited some Liverpool fans.
However, Klopp is trying to keep a level-head about the recovery speed of the former Arsenal man after such a long time out.
"I loved it (the video) like the fans loved it, if they loved it," Klopp told Liverpool's official website.
"It is just brilliant. I didn't lie, I said when you see him moving it is just unbelievable, he looks completely fine. The situation is now that we have to build endurance.
"What they did so far, it makes sense. You do the things to make sure the knee is again at 100 per cent.
"That's obviously the case and that is good, but from that moment on then you need time to adapt to the intensity of the game and that will take a while.
"But I pretty much can't wait until we can involve him, at least for (a few) minutes. It is so nice."
