Injury
An injury, unless very slight, will put players on the treatment table for a couple of games. The risk of injuries increases as the team increases the intensity of training with the Assistant Coaches on the staff. A Medic can be hired to help players heal faster. Medic also helps reduce the risk for injuries to players, but sometimes they get injured and there is not a lot you can do about it. Injuries do still occur even if a team has many a top level Medic.
Older players take a longer time to heal, and approaching their forties will have a hard time to recover at all though. After their 40th birthday there will be no hope to see him on pitch again.
Also injured players will get the training for the minutes they had played during the week. Once he's really almost recovered he gets a bandage next to his name instead of the red plus. Now he can play matches again and his name will show up black again in the match orders screen, but he will perform slightly below his capacities. Once the bandage is removed he's back to his old level, that is if he didn't get a major form crisis in the meantime.
Time to heal
Injury times are estimated in weeks - if your star forward has a week-long injury, it will take him up to one week to get fit again. The basic time for injuries to heal ranges from +1 week to +4 weeks (the + sign represents the red cross you can see in HT if a player is injured). Note that the actual healing time displayed may vary, primarily dependent on the age of the player. The older he gets, the longer it will take to heal. An old player, with age malus, can reach +5, +6, +7, +8 or +9 weeks and over 40yo they get a +∞ (infinte, or no hope of recovery).
Injury display
A player can not play as long as he's injured and his name will show up red in the match orders screen. If you do try to field him anyway, he will be replaced by a substitute as soon as the match begins.
This player is injured and can't play for quite a while, but is still able to get training for the minutes he played during the week.
This player is injured, but he can follow training. He will soon be ready to play matches again, but there isn't (anymore) any difference training-wise between +1 and for example +4 injuries.

Connection between TSI and displayed length of injury
The following contents are based on experience and/or research conducted by Hattrick users — which means that their veracity and accuracy have not been confirmed by any official statement, and consequently they do not necessarily reflect the game reality. Please take this into consideration!
There is a connection between the number of weeks Hattrick displays for an injury and the TSI a player has.
number of weeks = 10 * ( 1 - tsi2 / tsi1 )- tsi1: TSI when player is not injured (so usually at the time directly before the injury, let's say e.g. 9310)
- tsi2: TSI now (e.g. 7000)
Hattrick would then display a +2. Injuries have a sublevel so it is actually between 2.47 to 2.49 as TSI has a granularity of 10. You should be aware that tsi1 is only known if there is no form change or training after the player was last healthy.
