What is this で particle here? It's not a time or a place Same with 戦いで怪我をした. I
can't see the usage in any dictionaries unless 場所 is being used in some
abstract sense to just refer to the setting in which the action takes place.

で in the usage of サッカーで怪我をした etc
It's pretty much as you described it. In this case, で is more of an "in", but
not for a time or place, rather a setting. The same usage is seen in English,
too, like

>   * "I injured myself in battle"
>   * "I hurt myself in [a game of] soccer".

It's pretty intuitive, and the same happens in many languages, with the
reasoning being that you're treating "battle" as "the time when I was in
battle" (although obviously not in so many words).
