Milos Raonic has withdrawn from next week's Davis Cup quarter-final tie between Canada and Belgium because of a lingering foot injury.

The Thornhill, Ont. native had foot surgery in the spring and was forced to miss the French Open. He will see a foot specialist on Thursday.

"I'm devastated not to be participating in this tie against Belgium," said Raonic in a statement. "Due to my recurring injury, I am not able to play tennis for the next few weeks.

"My goal right now is to get healthy as fast as possible and get back to playing tennis as soon as I can. I have been with this team awhile and we have come a long way together. I know that they can win this tie and get us back into the semifinals."

The tie in Ostend, Belgium runs from July 17-19.

Raonic lost in the third round of Wimbledon to Nick Kyrgios of Australia.

Tennis Canada named Vasek Pospisil, Frank Dancevic, Filip Peliwo, and Daniel Nestor to the team on Tuesday. Belgium named David Goffin, Steve Darcis, Ruben Bemelmans and Kimmer Coppejans to its squad.
