Unless I'm reading the above incorrectly, this rule does not apply to the situation. The player was not withdrawn due to an injury, nor illegal equipment, etc. The player was replaced in a legal substitution. I believe the game is now live and any substitution before the ball is made live for the inbound is allowed.

1. has been withdrawn
OR
2. directed to leave the game for....
The reasons never matter. Any player who leaves the game for any reason may not return until after the clock has run.
