Posted on October 16, 2012 by SoccerPunter

Poland have never beaten England for the past 39 years. It was on June 1973 when England lose to Poland during World Cup Qualifiers.

According to SoccerPunter Head-to-Head (H2H) statistics, England have won 8, drawn 4 and lost 1 against Poland.

To make matter worse, newly-appointed Poland manager Waldemar Fornalik is without national team captain Jakub Blaszczykowski, who turned his ankle on domestic duty with Borussia Dortmund. Arsenal goalkeeping pair Wojciech Szczesny (foot) and Lukasz Fabianski (shoulder) are both injured.

On the other hand, England will be missing Theo Walcott due to a chest injury at San Marino match. Chelsea duo Frank Lampard (calf) and Ryan Bertrand (illness) have not recovered in time to travel to Warsaw.

On the bright side, Steven Gerrard will return to captain England and Ashley Cole will also be back. They will make their 99th appearances for England.
