You're right, there is no blood sub in soccer at any level. The player must leave the pitch immediately and be cleaned up while his team plays a man down. If he's too hurt to come back on, they must sub someone on in his place; if they've already used all three subs, then the team plays a man down. You're not allowed to wear any clothing with blood on it, even if you're cleaned up yourself, which is why some players wind up wearing weird numbers with no name on the back sometimes.
