The Chelsea wideman, 26, sat out training yesterday suggesting that the tricky winger might miss out Fabio Capello's first match in charge of our national side.
But having come through double sessions today, SWP is expected to start the friendly from his favoured right-wing position.
With John Terry and Frank Lampard unavailable due to injury, Lamps is fit but too late for squad selection - Chelsea still has a strong contingent.
Joe Cole and full-backs Wayne Bridge and Ashley Cole are included in the squad, with Bridge looking the most likey man to lose out.
J Cole has played to a very high standard for much of the post-Mourinho era, while A Cole is yet to get close to the sublime level of his Arsenal days.
Bridge, if he does miss out, can count himself extremely unlucky.
When called on for Chelsea this season, he has been outstanding, but with Avram Grant starting a tw0-match rotation sysytem, Bridge is not getting enough games to stamp his superiority over Ash.
Capello will also have watched Bridge'as nightmare performance against Croatia more than once - and will choose the under-performaing Ashley Cole.
Who else will be in the side ? Who cares, none are from Chelsea.
