Jurgen Klopp has insisted Borussia Dortmund will recover from losing a number of their star players this summer.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan is in line to become the third major loss for the Bundesliga runners-up with Dortmund announcing on Saturday he is joining Manchester United.
The Armenia captain follows Mats Hummels and Ilkay Gundogan out the door of Dortmund this transfer window, but former manager and current Liverpool boss Klopp does not think their departures will affect the club.
"Dortmund have managed to sign almost all of Europe's biggest talents this transfer period," Klopp told Bild.
"I am not worried about Borussia Dortmund at all. When I joined BVB, we were in a similar situation.

"If there's one club that can cope with the departure of three key players, it's got to be Borussia Dortmund and coach Thomas Tuchel."
Klopp spent seven years at the helm at the German club, before accepting a fresh challenge with Liverpool in October.
It was the German manager who originally brought Mkhitaryan to Germany in 2013 in a club record £23.6million deal.
