"If he continues to work in the way he is in training and the game time he will get from here on in, I see no reason why he shouldn't," added Wilkins.
"I think he will give England something slightly different. He can play on both sides of the pitch and in different formations.
"So Joe has a very good chance. But as Fabio said he has not been too impressed with Joe's form over the last couple of months, that's why he did not make the final 23 for the Egypt game.
"But we are quite confident that Joe can get his form back and get into that 23 for South Africa. I am sure if he performs to the ability we know Joe has, then Fabio will take him."
Chelsea entertain Stoke on Sunday in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup without suspended midfielder Michael Ballack and the versatile Juliano Belletti.
