The missing fish is either: a jumper, drying on the floor, inside a filter (especially if you use a HOB with an opening accessible to the tank), be a snack for the other fish.

For the injured one--any ideas on what the fish could have gotten stuck on? Sounds more like an injury than a disease, and lacking other fish that are prone to attacking, some decoration or rock that the fish could get caught in and struggle against seems likely. It might heal onit's own--you'll want to watch for signs of bacterial infection and harrassment from other fish.
