The Stoke City reserve shot-stopper left Thursday's historic 1-0 victory over World Cup champion Germany early with the problem.
With a win in Warsaw, Martin O'Neill's side will secure a place at the Euro 2016 finals in France. A playoff spot has already been secured.
In Given's absence, Millwall's David Forde and Darren Randolph of West Ham will fight it out over a starting berth.
