World Cup 2022 draw: England land minnows Andorra AND San Marino as well as Robert Lewandowski’s Poland


ENGLAND will come up against Robert Lewandowski’s Poland side in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

Gareth Southgate’s men will also face Hungary, Albania, Andorra and San Marino.

The qualifiers are set to take place between March and November 2021.

Only 13 countries from Europe can make it through to the World Cup finals in Qatar.

England have been put into Group I following the draw on Monday evening.

Southgate’s men are part of a six-team group that will see them face Lewandowski.

The Three Lions made it to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

But their impressive run came to an end after an agonising extra time defeat to Croatia.

Meanwhile, Wales have been drawn into a group with Belgium, Czech Republic, Belarus and Estonia.

And Northern Ireland will be up against Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Lithuania.

Italy did not make it to the 2018 World Cup after a disastrous qualifying campaign.
