Denis Shapovalov and Gabriel Diallo withdrew from Canada’s Davis Cup team because of injuries, Tennis Canada announced Thursday. Alexis Galarneau and Keegan Rice will replace them at the Final 8 in Bologna, Italy.

Shapovalov said he injured an adductor muscle during his opening match against Karen Khachanov at the Paris Masters on Nov. 2. Diallo returned from a leg injury in October but withdrew from the tournament in Brest on Oct. 26. He said his doctor had not cleared him for Davis Cup play.

Félix Auger-Aliassime, Liam Draxl and Duncan Chan remain on Canada’s roster. Canada opens against Czechia at 10 a.m. EST on Nov. 24. The winner faces Italy or South Korea in the semifinals.
