Upson Named In England Squad
Last updated : 10 November 2003 By Brian Cartlidge
The 24-year-old Blues defender will be looking to add to his tally of five England caps having been included in Sven-Göran Eriksson's squad for the game against the Danes at Old Trafford on Sunday, England's last match on home soil for six months.
With Rio Ferdinand, Sol Campbell and Jonathan Woodgate missing from the 23-man squad, Upson must have a good chance of making the starting eleven although Eriksson has recalled Gareth Southgate.
Upson joins Kenny Cunningham, Clinton Morrison, Darren Carter, Aliou Cisse and Olivier Tebily as Blues players called-up for international duty over the next week or so.
Full Squad:
Goalkeepers: David James (West Ham), Paul Robinson (Leeds), Ian Walker (Leicester).
Defenders: Gary Neville (Manchester Utd), Glen Johnson (Chelsea), John Terry (Chelsea), Gareth Southgate (Middlesbrough), Matthew Upson (Birmingham City), Danny Mills (Middlesbrough), Ashley Cole (Arsenal), Wayne Bridge (Chelsea).
Midfielders: Nicky Butt (Manchester Utd), Jermaine Jenas (Newcastle), Danny Murphy (Liverpool), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Scott Parker (Charlton Athletic), David Beckham (Real Madrid), Phil Neville (Manchester Utd), Joe Cole (Chelsea).
Strikers: Wayne Rooney (Everton), Emile Heskey (Liverpool), Darius Vassell (Aston Villa).
