(Reuters) - Former world number one Andy Murray has withdrawn from Britain's Davis Cup squad ahead of the finals next week due to a shoulder injury, the Briton said on Saturday, effectively ending his season.

Murray guided Britain to the finals after missing his grandmother's funeral to help his team beat Switzerland in September. Britain play Serbia in the quarter-finals in Malaga.
