Maybe you have overused your muscle. Make sure to stretch before and after the game too. I have arm muscle strain all the time when playing too much esspecially smashing training or competition. If it still hurts during a tournament just use a pain relief spray or patches, thats what i usually do.

What sort of muscles injuries?
Overstrain , tear ,pain or soreness?

Did you do something extra that you don't usually does?
Best bet is to consult a doctor or your coach.
