Poland captain Jakub Blaszczykowski will not be leading his nation out against England in their 2014 World Cup qualifier due to an ankle injury.
The Borussia Dortmund star has confirmed that he will be unable to train for up to four to six weeks on his official website.
Blaszczykowski suffered the injury blow in Dortmund's 1-1 draw with Hannover in the Bundesliga encounter yesterday.
Poland are due to face the Three Lions in Warsaw on October 16.
