The Southampton midfielder was absent through injury from the last two international meet-ups, missing the play-off games with Croatia in October and then the matches with Portugal and France in November.

The 20-year-old is now back to full fitness and a regular in Ronald Koeman’s side as the Saints continue to challenge for a top-four spot in the Premier League.
And with the prospect of the Euro Championship Finals coming up this summer, Ward-Prowse is hoping to get the call for the games with Czech Republic and Germany next month.
"It’s been horrible not being involved," he told TheFA.com.
"They’re a great bunch of lads and the staff are all great, so I’ve missed it and it’s always great to go away and get involved in all of that.
"It will be good to get back in, but I’ve got to make sure I’m still playing for Southampton to warrant getting into the squad."
Ward-Prowse was a key player in Euro Qualifying for Gareth Southgate’s side, with his passing, industry and set-piece ability seeing him become a firm favourite among the squad.
But when he was ruled out for two months with a broken bone in his foot last September, he was forced out of the crucial play-off games with Croatia.
Ward-Prowse's last game for England was against Lithuania in September
The Three Lions managed to win both games by 2-1 to secure their spot at the Finals in Czech Republic in June and Ward-Prowse admits he was a twitchy viewer at home.
"I was very nervous watching that, but I was confident in the lads getting the job done," he admitted.
"I think everyone, one to eleven and all of the subs, they played their part and I thought we deserved to get through."
Ward-Prowse also had chance to pass on his congratulations to the rest of the squad in November, when he was invited by Southgate to join the Under-21s group at St. George’s Park for a few days.
He continued his rehabilitation whilst getting the chance to join in with the squad’s early planning and preparation for the summer.
"It was great to see all of the lads in November, it was just a shame I couldn’t be more involved on the training pitch," he admitted.
"But there’s a great spirit in the group, we all love being involved and everybody is now looking forward to the summer ahead."
The Under-21s face Czech Republic in Prague on Friday 27 March, before they take on Germany at Middlesbrough’s Riverside Stadium on Monday 30 March.
