Troy Deeney has returned to Watford’s HQ on Wednesday for the first time since opting out of phase one training.
The Hornets striker has been missing since players returned to training last month due to the health risks attached to the coronavirus.
But Deeney reported for duty on Wednesday and will now focus on his fitness ahead of games restarting on June 17.
His arrival will come as a huge boost to Nigel Pearson, who was facing going into the restart without his talismanic striker.
The Watford captain has been one of the leading voices in opposing Project Restart proposals and decided not to make a return to training due to the health risks linked to Covid-19.
Deeney was unwilling to risk the health of his five-month-old son, who has had breathing difficulties.
The 31-year-old revealed at the end of last month that he and his family have been subjected to vile abuse after airing his concerns about a return, with some of the disgusting comments directed at his son.
Speaking to CNN, Deeney explained: 'I saw some comments in regards to my son, people saying: "I hope your son gets corona.''
'That's the hard part for me. If you respond to that, people then go: "Ah, we've got him" and they keep doing it.
'In a time where it's all about mental health and everyone says "speak up, speak out, please speak", Danny Rose spoke out and I spoke out and we just get absolutely hammered and battered for it.
'So people see that and go "woah" and it's not just us that gets it, the missus gets direct messages and you'll be walking down the street and people will be like: "Oh, I'm at work, you go back to work".'
Deeney has scored six goals in 18 appearances so far this season and will be crucial to Watford's chances of staying in the Premier League.
He also claimed the current Premier League season has lost all 'integrity' and that Liverpool's eventual title win will always be overshadowed by the pandemic.
He added: 'I believe that when it comes to the integrity of this season anyway, it's already gone.
'I feel sorry for Liverpool because no matter how it plays out, they deserve to win the league. They deserve to get the trophy.
'But no matter how it plays out, even if we play all the games, it's still going to be the year spoiled by the pandemic.
'It's not going to be that year that Liverpool won the league being the best team and, you know, it's 30 years they haven't won for.
'So I do feel sorry for Liverpool and their players and Jordan [Henderson], but in terms of integrity, there's no way you could say that this is a viable competition.'
