Liam Broady has been called up to replace an injured Andy Murray in the Great Britain team for next week\u2019s Davis Cup finals in Malaga.<\/p>\n
Former Wimbledon and US Open champion Murray is sidelined due to a minor shoulder injury, the Lawn Tennis Association announced.<\/p>\n
And Broady now takes his place ahead of the quarter-final clash against Serbia on November 23.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve picked up a minor shoulder injury which means I won\u2019t be able to take part in the Davis Cup,\u201d Murray said on X, formerly known as Twitter.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m gutted not to be part of the squad, but my focus is now on rehab and getting ready for the new season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Murray\u2019s absence is a second setback for the British team after Dan Evans withdrew earlier this month because of a calf muscle injury.<\/p>\n
Britain\u2019s Davis Cup captain Leon Smith called up Joe Salisbury in place of Evans, with Broady now now teaming up alongside Salisbury, Cameron Norrie, Jack Draper and Neal Skupski.<\/p>\n
Britain\u2019s appointment with Serbia is the last of the quarter-finals. In the other ties, Canada face Finland, the Czech Republic meet Australia and Italy take on the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
