It really all depends on what you expect from a Captain, or more importantly, what Klopp expects. Does a Captain have to Captain like Stevie or Carra? I'll caveat that by saying that if his injury issue keeps him out much longer, he'd have to step down. I do think you do him a disservice over his talent, as do many people. He has one of the best ranges of passing of anyone currently in the Premier League and I believe, injury free of course, he'd walk into the first team of many of the big six in this country. He has better overall stats than Willian, Fabregass, Kante, Ox, roughly on par with Lamella and Xhaka, and only beaten by Pogba and Erikson. He's not shy of handing out a bollocking to either player or match official and is probably the only example of FSG's investment in young players that can be argued to have worked. What's not to like?
