The Blues defender has been named in England coach Sven-Göran Eriksson's 24-man squad for the game on wednesday, 9th February.
Upson was not available for selection for Blues' game against Manchester United today having picked up a hamstring injury during training this week so it remains to be seen if he'll be fit enough to team up with the England squad this coming week.
