Murray has been out of action since limping through his Wimbledon quarter-final defeat to Sam Querrey with a hip injury.

After pulling out of back-to-back events in Montreal and Cincinnati, it was feared the Scot would have to miss Flushing Meadows as well.

However, a spokesman told The Guardian that Murray will travel to the US next week for the tournament.

The World No.2 is back in practice following a two-week break period and is feeling much better about his chances of competing.
