GB confident Andy Murray will recover for Davis Cup clash with Italy

Murray has been confined to his hotel room in Naples and is not expected to practise until at least 5pm British time on Thursday ahead of Britain's first Davis Cup quarter-final tie for 28 years. James Ward will take the second singles spot ahead of Dan Evans despite being ranked more than 30 places below his rival due to his superior record on clay.
Ross Hutchins has also been added to the squad to provide extra cover for the doubles if Murray is unable to play three matches in three days.
The full side selected by Smith is: Andy Murray, James Ward, Colin Fleming and Ross Hutchings.
