A groin injury prevented him from travelling with the team to Tanzania for a friendly this week, and Koeman was unable to provide any clarity regarding Barkley when asked for the latest in Africa.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, the Dutchman said: 'At the moment it is not a clear situation.
'He is not fit, that's the reason he didn't travel with the team.
