Instead the Croatian centre back will remain in Liverpool and train with the Under 21's.
"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."
