 Juan Monaco has been replaced by Sebastian Prieto in the Argentina Davis Cup team for their clash with Great Britain this weekend (February 8th to February 10th).
Despite Monaco suffering an injury while playing in a tournament in Chile, Great Britain remain massive 64/1 underdogs with BetFair to win the tie.
Monaco will not be the only major player missing the encounter, with Andrew Murray also watching from the sidelines.
With the South American's such overwhelming favourites to claim victory, Argentina captain Alberto Mancini has warned his players to guard against complacency.
"The guys should focus on themselves," he said. "They are in good form and should take advantage of that if they are to win this tie as convincingly as possible.
He added: "But we have to be 100 per cent focused. The guys know that if they play their normal game, everything will be fine."
Meanwhile, Britain will be pinning their hopes on their highest ranked player left in the Davis Cup, Alex Bogdanovic, who is 188th in the world.
