Bentancur missed the ball as he dived low to reach it, and appeared to injury his right arm as he reached the turf.
He remained rooted to the spot he fell in which caused alarm for the rest of the players.
His team-mates were concerned and Pedro Porro rushed to his aide as he lay on the ground motionless and put him in the recovery position.
Stars from both sides immediately beckoned physios and medical staff onto the pitch to attend to Bentancur.
The Argentine received treatment for around seven minutes and was given oxygen as he was taken off on a stretcher.
It forced Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou into an early change as Brennan Johnson came on to replace the stricken star.
It is the second time Bentancur has been knocked out this season after he clashed heads with Leicester star Abdul Fatawu during the opening game of the season.
Tottenham have been hit by an injury crisis in recent weeks and lined up with several youngsters against Liverpool, including Archie Gray at centre-back once again.
There was also a debut for Antonin Kinsky who only signed this week from Slavia Prague.
Bentancur, 27, has only recently returned from a lengthy ban after he was found guilty of using a racial slur toward team-mate Son Heung-min.
He missed seven games through suspension and returned against Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day.
