France's Davis Cup team captain Yannick Noah said Tuesday he will not name a replacement for Richard Gasquet after the world number 26 pulled out of the final due to injury.
Gasquet's decision, made on Monday when he cited an unspecified injury , leaves France relying on Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Lucas Pouille for the singles rubbers of the November 23-25 final against Croatia in Lille.
Noah, a French Open winner in 1983, has also selected Jeremy Chardy and doubles pair Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
The 58-year-old has also selected Benoit Paire and Julien Benneteau as reserves in the event of a late withdrawal.
France holds 10 Davis Cup titles and will defend its 2017 crown against a Croatia team that has triumphed only once, in 2005.
