However, he was taken out of the game before halftime, which has left Liverpool fans expecting more information on his condition.
At halftime, Jurgen Klopp made his third substitute, replacing Nunez with Gakpo.
This decision was made despite the fact that he was already dealing with injuries to Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones throughout the first half of the match.
It has been speculated by TNT Sports that Nunez’s substitution was a preventative measure, taking into consideration the present injury situation at Liverpool as well as the impending Carabao Cup final match against Chelsea.
In the match against Brentford, Klopp was forced to play without goalkeeper Alisson and defender Trent Alexander-Arnold.
It is likely that the further injuries sustained by Jota and Jones would have made his fears much more serious.
Earlier, Nunez had scored a goal with a deft finish to put Liverpool ahead in the game.
However, he was compelled to leave the field.
Klopp is facing a concerning injury problem with a midweek match against Luton Town before their travel to Wembley to play Mauricio Pochettino’s club.
This is despite Nunez’s remarkable run, in which he has contributed five goals and two assists in his previous seven Premier League appearances for Liverpool.
A glimmer of optimism was supplied, however, by the return of Mohamed Salah against Brentford.
The Egyptian attacker came off the substitute to score Liverpool’s third goal of the match, which was a significant victory for Liverpool.
