Centre Fraser Waters has been declared fit to start for Wasps in the Heineken Cup final on Sunday.
He was rated 50-50 for the encounter with Toulouse at Twickenham after injuring his hamstring against Northampton, but has recovered in time.
"It is a big lift for us all," said Wasps skipper Lawrence Dallaglio.
Wasps coach Warren Gatland can now name an unchanged team from the one which crushed Northampton 57-20, with Waters partnering Stuart Abbott in midfield.
Gatland has dismissed suggestions Wasps could suffer from the effects of a gruelling season as they face back-to-back European and domestic finals.
"We are not tired at all," Gatland added. "The guys are really fresh and sharp.

Winning the Heineken Cup is something this club hasn't achieved so there is no lack of motivation

"The boys are all excited and looking forward to the weekend. Hopefully we will go out there and do something special."
After coming from behind to beat Munster in Dublin in an epic semi-final, Wasps will have the benefit of 'home' advantage at Twickenham against the defending champions.
"We have thrived the last couple of years on challenges, when people have doubted us a little bit," Gatland added.
"Toulouse have been there before but winning the Heineken Cup is something this club hasn't achieved so there is no lack of motivation.
"We want to go out there and play some great rugby. Both teams like to attack and move the ball so it is a mouth-watering prospect, especially if the weather holds up.
"We should have an advantage because the match is at Twickenham and we should have the crowd's support. It's a familiar ground for us."
