Team getting on with protecting injury (9)
I believe the answer is:
bandaging
'protecting injury' is the definition.
(bandaging up a wound)
'team getting on' is the wordplay.
'team' becomes 'band' (both can mean a group of people).
'getting on' becomes 'aging' (I've seen this before).
'band'+'aging'='BANDAGING'
'with' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for bandaging that I've seen before include "some first aid" , "holding together" , "Providing cover" .)
