It does not categorize that issue.
I do not see any rule justification other than you saying it. Because it does not say that the team of an injured player is excempt from replacing their player before calling a timeout. Actually there is no distiction made. It says that the injured player has to be replaced before the timeout can be granted. So it seems to leave it up to an interpretation.
Peace
