Robert Green and Matthew Upson are in line to face Brazil in a glamour international friendly next Saturday after being named in Fabio Capello's latest squad.
The West Ham United duo will join up with the national team on Tuesday but club-mate Carlton Cole misses out because of a hamstring problem that kept him out of the 2-1 home defeat by Everton. The match will be played in Qatar on Saturday evening. With David James and Rio Ferdinand absent, both Green and Upson will fancy their chances of making the starting XI.
