injury-related
Describes that something was caused or made necessary by an injury. The word is often used in a sports context to explain a player's absence or a limitation in performance.
Der Stürmer musste eine verletzungsbedingte Pause einlegen.
The striker had to take an injury-related break.
The word is made up of 'die Verletzung' (injury), the linking '-s-', and the suffix '-bedingt'. The suffix '-bedingt' means 'caused by' or 'dependent on'. So 'verletzungsbedingt' literally means 'caused by an injury.'
Sein Fehlen beim Spiel war verletzungsbedingt.
His absence from the match was injury-related.
'Verletzungsbedingt' (injury-related) can be used as an adverb to give a reason. It can also stand before a noun as an adjective and is then declined.
Der Spieler musste verletzungsbedingt ausgewechselt werden.
The player had to be substituted because of an injury.
This word is used extremely often in sports reporting. Typical combinations are 'verletzungsbedingt ausfallen' (to be out due to injury), 'verletzungsbedingt fehlen' (to be absent due to injury), or 'eine verletzungsbedingte Pause machen' (to take an injury-related break).
Die Kapitänin der Mannschaft fällt für den Rest der Saison verletzungsbedingt aus.
The team captain is out for the rest of the season due to injury.
