Correct Answer: Despite


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

The correct phrase is "despite an injury", without the preposition "of". "Despite" itself means "in spite of" or "without being affected by", so the use of "of" after it is redundant and incorrect.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: Despite an injury, he won the match.
