World No 2 Rafael Nadal will return to the Spanish team for next month's Davis Cup final against the Czech Republic.

The second-ranked Nadal is returning back into the  team for the first time, since winning both singles matches against Serbia in the first round in March. 

"The Davis Cup is my main objective remaining for the year," said Nadal, who also missed last year's final against Argentina due to a knee injury.

"To play in the Palau Sant Jordi, where I carried the team flag in 2000, and experience that now as a player and not a spectator will be a marvellous experience."

Fernando Verdasco, David Ferrer and Feliciano Lopez complete the team for the December 4-6 tie in Barcelona where Spain will seek a fourth title in 10 years.

Spain will attempt to become the first team to retain the Davis Cup since Sweden in 1998 and are undefeated at home in 17 ties.
