Lel, who was hoping to win a record fourth London marathon men's title, suffered a right hip injury during his final training session last weekend.
Lel was advised to pull out of the race by medical staff after a late fitness test on Saturday.
"I'm very disappointed not to be able to compete for my fourth London marathon title but I need to be cautious," Lel said in a statement. "The injury is not serious but the pain means I wouldn't be at my best tomorrow."
