The 32-year-old Gasquet, whose last appearance was at the Paris Masters in October, wrote on Twitter that he was "extremely disappointed" at having to withdraw, with France bidding to retain the title.

In the absence of Gasquet, France captain Yannick Noah will have to choose from Lucas Pouille, Jeremy Chardy and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga for the singles matches.
