England manager Gareth Southgate says he will have no hesitation over selecting forward Raheem Sterling for Sunday's Euro 2020 qualifier in Kosovo.
Sterling was dropped for Thursday's game against Montenegro at Wembley after a clash with team-mate Joe Gomez.
Southgate said: "We move forward. The way he's trained has been exemplary."
Earlier on Wednesday, Southgate said he "wouldn't imagine" that 24-year-old Sterling is "hugely enthusiastic" about him after the decision he made.
"He's with the group, that's the most important thing. He's a massive part of what we do - has been, will be," he added.
"He's with us for the game tomorrow. He's back with the team on the training pitch enjoying his football."
England need just a point against Montenegro on Thursday (19:45 GMT kick-off) to qualify for Euro 2020 in their 1,000th match.
Manchester City's Sterling will be available again for Sunday's trip to Kosovo (17:00) - their final qualifier for next summer's tournament - after missing his first international since September 2018.
Asked if he would have any hesitation about bringing the forward back into the starting XI in Pristina, Southgate said: "None, none whatsoever. We took the decision and drew a line under everything."

Harry Kane is the first Englishman to score a hat-trick in consecutive games at Wembley England celebrated their 1,000th game in style as they secured qualification for Euro 2020 and won Group A with an emphatic demolition of Montenegro at Wembley. Captain Harry Kane moved to sixth in England's list of leading scorers as a first-half hat-trick took his tally to 31 - overhauling Frank Lampard, Alan Shearer, Nat Lofthouse and Tom Finney. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain opened the scoring on his first start for 18 months while Marcus Rashford was also on the scoresheet in that 45-minute barrage. As England and the Football Association enjoyed this landmark occasion, with a parade of legends and 1966 World Cup winners in attendance, Montenegro proved the most amenable of opponents, particularly in the opening half when Kane and company ran riot and the visitors' defending was shambolic. Oxlade-Chamberlain finished superbly to begin the rout while Kane quickly added two headers...
