I believe the answer is:

scratches

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'withdraws minor' is the first definition.
'scratches' can be an answer for 'withdraws' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'minor' bit.

'injuries' is the second definition.
(scratch is a kind of injury)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scratches that I've seen before include "Abraded areas of the skin" , "Abrasions" , "opponents having no handicaps" , "Withdraws" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
