Rafael Nadal is out for Spain following injury problems with his knees

Rafael Nadal has been left out of Spain's Davis Cup squad for their World Group quarter-final against Germany on 10-12 July.

The world number one has struggled with tendinitis in his knees since being knocked out of the French Open last month and missed out on Wimbledon.

Spain have called up Fernando Verdasco, Tommy Robredo, David Ferrer and Feliciano Lopez for the match on clay.

The Puerto Banus bullring in Marbella will host the fixture.
