Sahin, 27, and Dortmund host the Premier League outfit in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday.

The Turkey international, who had a brief loan spell at Liverpool in 2012-13, insists the tie will have no impact on his team-mates' relationship with former coach Klopp.

"We have worked for seven, eight years," Sahin told Sport1.

"That he knows us is beyond question. We know him well. We all have a great relationship with Klopp. That will not suffer in these two games."

Sahin was on loan at Anfield from Real Madrid in 2012-13, before the midfielder made his return to Dortmund.

He had no complaints about his time at Liverpool, saying: "I was only there for three and a half, four months.

"It was a short but very nice time. I cannot say anything bad about this club. It was my desire to go back to Borussia.

"What I will never forget is the training ground. The club Liverpool is great.

"Even if they have not won a major title since 2005, it is an extremely well-organised team."
