The Manchester United skipper played the whole game as England beat the Czech Republic 1-0 on Tuesday to top Group D.
It was Maguire’s first appearance of the European Championship after he recovered from the ankle ligament damage he suffered towards the end of the 2020-21 season.
He spent Thursday training indoors on an individual programme as a group of 23 players took to the pitch at St George’s Park.
The other absentees were Chelsea duo Ben Chilwell and Mason Mount, who continue to self-isolate.
The pair were flagged as close contacts of club-mate Billy Gilmour after the Scotland midfielder tested positive for Covid three days after starring in a goalless draw with England at Wembley.
