Consecutive timeout after injury

Time-out occurs and the clock, if running, shall be stopped when an official:
Grants a player's/head coach's oral or visual request for a time-out, such request being granted only when:
The ball is dead, unless replacement of a disqualified, or injured player(s), or a player directed to leave the game is pending, and a substitute(s) is available and required.

Summary
A timeout cannot be awarded until the player is replaced.

I agree where you are coming from, but if you use that logic as well, you could say that the team that calls a timeout for that purpose, could not bring back that player as well. Let us take B calling a timeout out of this situation, they still have to replace the player before a timeout is granted right? So what difference does it make if B calls a timeout and A has replaced the injured player before the timeout can be granted?

And in 5-8-3 says,

"Grants a player's/head coach's oral or visual request for a time-out such request being granted only when:"

b says,

"The ball is dead, unless replacement of a disqualified, or injured player(s) or a player directed to leave the game is pending and a substitute(s) is availible and required."

Now if 5-8-3b says you cannot grant one until the sub as been made availible, why is that any different if B calls a timeout?
