Its called subungual hematoma..that commonly happens after an injury..
The pain usually subsides within 2 weeks ,after the pressure formed due to hematoma reduces..
The nail comes off and new nail grows that takes 6 to 9 months but that will not hamper your sport
Next Steps
just ice that area and give it rest..don't wear shoes for sometime
Health Tips

You should give ice pack wrapping around the toe for 10-15 minutes for every two hours for 3 days.
Ensure that there is no muscle injury or bone demage or open wound.
Next Steps
If the clot, pain persists or aggrevates you need to consult a Physician or Orthopaedist in person for further evaluation and treatment.

Wait and watch. There is nothing that can be done. If it's painful then do an x-ray. Otherwise observe.
