Shy, having injured arm in this? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sling

This clue is a double definition.

'shy' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'having injured arm in this?' is the second definition.
(a broken arm may go in a sling)

(Other definitions for sling that I've seen before include "Stone-throwing weapon" , "Cast - used for injured arm" , "ballistic weapon" , "Catapult - shoe - support" , "harness for broken arm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
