Crossword Genius

Break, perhaps, in panel (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

injury

'break perhaps' is the definition.
(break is a kind of injury)

'in panel' is the wordplay.
'panel' becomes 'jury' ('jury' can be a synonym of 'panel').
'in'+'jury'='INJURY'

(Other definitions for injury that I've seen before include "Physical damage, harm" , "Wound" , "One of Dumas's three musketeers" , "Contusion" , "wrongful action" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
