Last year's losing finalists Russia will be at full strength for April's Davis Cup quarter-final against the Czech Republic in Moscow.

Russia captain Shamil Tarpishchev said he had kept faith with the team that beat Serbia 3-2 last month, recalling former world number one Marat Safin, world number four Nikolay Davydenko, 11th-ranked Mikhail Youzhny (pictured) and Dmitry Tursunov (35).

Tarpishchev also called up clay-court specialist Igor Andreev for the April 11-13 tie on clay at the Luzhniki arena.

"We have five top-class players and, provided they are all healthy, I always try to rely on everyone," Tarpishchev said.

"I can change the line-up a day before the draw, so we'll see who is in better shape by then."

Russia, the 2006 champions, are hoping to win back the trophy after losing to the United States 4-1 last year.
