Lovren joined the Reds in a £20million deal from Southampton this week, becoming the third player to make the move this summer after Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana.
But the Croatian star is unable to join his new team-mates in the States due to visa troubles.
Instead, Lovren will have to train with the U-21 squad and link up with the Liverpool squad when they return from the USA next week.
"Unfortunately I could not get a visa straight away," the 25-year-old said.
"Therefore I can not join my team-mates in the U.S. I am sad because of that.
"Of course it's not good that I have not joined the team's preparations in the U.S.
"However, I have plenty of days until their return from the tour.
"I will train with the U-21 team in Liverpool. Brendan Rodgers will send a programme for me to practice."
