LONDON, March 29 (Reuters) - Poland suffered a massive blow ahead of this week's crunch World Cup qualifier away to England when striker and talisman Robert Lewandowski was ruled out because of a knee injury on Monday. Lewandowski injured his right knee just past the hour mark of Sunday's victory over Andorra and underwent scans on Monday. "Robert Lewandowski will not play in Wednesday's World Cup qualifying match against England in London due to an injury," the Polish Football Association said on their website. The 32-year-old Lewandowski has been in scintillating form this season and already has struck 42 goals for Bayern in all competitions this season. His injury will almost certainly rule him out of Bundesliga leaders Bayern's top-of-the-table clash with second-placed RB Leipzig on Saturday in which Bayern begin four points clear.
