It's wise to be proactive about this by talking with the coach after they get their player(s) settled. Simply ask them what they're going to do with their lineup: ask them how the player's feeling, if the player is going to sit out a while, if the coach is making any changes, etc. If the coach wants to bench the injured player and has no subs, remind them that play will continue under the shorthanded rule, but she can't return. Make sure that's what the coach wants to do.
Head it off at the pass.
