Andy Murray will miss Great Britain’s Davis Cup quarter-final against France next month as he recovers from an elbow injury.
Murray, 29, pulled out of the Miami Open almost a week before his opening match because of the problem.
GB captain Leon Smith conceded it was “a big loss to our team” to be without the world number one.
Dan Evans, Kyle Edmund, Jamie Murray and Dom Inglot will line up for Britain in Rouen from 7-9 April.
Andy Murray is resting his elbow injury for a second consecutive week and no decision has yet been taken about when he will return to the practice courts.
His next scheduled tournament – in Monte Carlo – starts in three weeks.
“Most importantly we all wish him well for a speedy recovery back to full health and fitness,” said Smith.
“I know that he would really want to be here with the rest of the team.”
