Former world number one Andy Murray has been forced to cancel his pre-season training in Miami due to a groin injury.

The injury, which Murray suffered during Britain's Davis Cup campaign in Madrid last month, has left him unable to practice on the court.

According to The Times, Murray suffered a bruise to his pelvic bone during the tournament, forcing him to miss the rest of the event after playing just one singles match.

Despite the setback, Murray's participation in the Australian Open next month remains unaffected, with the three-time Grand Slam champion likely to receive a wild card to compete in Melbourne.

Murray, ranked 126 in the world, is due to travel to Australia in late December to prepare for the new ATP Cup team competition, which starts on January 3.

Earlier this year, Murray broke down in tears, suggesting that the 2019 Australian Open could be his last tournament, but he has since returned to the court after undergoing hip resurfacing surgery and went on to beat Stan Wawrinka in the final of the European Open in October.
