A hip injury will prevent Milos Raonic from playing for Canada in a Davis Cup tie July 8-10 in Ecuador.

Raonic was injured June 22 during a second-round match at Wimbledon, forcing him out of the tournament. He is still undergoing medical examinations to determine the severity of the injury.

"No decisions have been made with regard to Milos' treatment," Tennis Canada president Michael Downey said Thursday in a statement.

The Canadian team in Guayaquil, Ecuador will have Daniel Nestor of Toronto, Philip Bester of Vancouver, Peter Polansky of Thornhill, Ont., and Vasek Pospisil of Vernon, B.C.

The winning team will play for a spot in the World Group in September in a playoff tie.
