Question

when a player gets injured, why ethyl chloride is sprayed on the injured portion?

Solution

Ethyl Chloride or chloroethane is used as the refrigerant . Since it is volatile liquid, it absorbs the heat on tissues producing a rapid chill on that area. This medication is used for skin only and gives temporary relief to minor injuries. However over spraying may cause frostbite.
