Defending champion Spain picked Juan Carlos Ferrero, David Ferrer, Tommy Robredo and Marcel Granollers on Tuesday to face Switzerland in their Davis Cup opener next month.
Captain Albert Costa said Rafael Nadal and Fernando Verdasco will miss the tie through injury, as expected. Both helped Spain sweep past the Czech Republic 5-0 in the Davis Cup final last year.
Ferrero won his second title in two weeks at the weekend at Buenos Aires. He won in Costa do Sauipe to start Latin America's clay swing.
The former French Open champ missed last year's Davis Cup final, but has played in 16 ties since 2000 for a 17-7 record.
Spain faces Switzerland from March 5-7 in the 11,000-capacity bullring in the northern city of Logrono.
Switzerland will be without world No. 1 Roger Federer.
Spain and Switzerland have played each other five times, with Spain winning four.
