Time off due to injury? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

break

I believe this is a double definition.

'time off' is the first definition.
(eg a break from work)

'injury?' is the second definition.
(I know that break is a type of harm)

'due to' is the link.

(Other definitions for break that I've seen before include "Holiday; snap" , "Damage - interrupt" , "Shatter; respite" , "Vacation; snap" , "Better opportunity" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
