It depends on the sport.

For swimming and certain types of injuries you would not want the injured athlete practicing with the team. Work out sets usually are very structured with tight time requirements. If you have an athlete who swims slower due to an injury in a lane with uninjured swimmers it can make it difficult for the other swimmers to complete their sets. If there are no spare lanes available then it may be necessary to have the athlete completely heal from an injury before rejoining team practice.
