There was concern on Monday when Warner needed medical treatment after inside-edging a delivery from Michael Neser onto his thigh.
However, the 32-year-old was back in the nets on Tuesday and Langer confirmed that Warner will feature when the opening Test begins at Edgbaston on Thursday.
“He’s fine,” Langer told a news conference.
“He would not miss this for anything in the world, I reckon. He can’t wait. He’s that excited [for an] an Ashes Test match.
“Steve Waugh’s in the changing room so a few little bruises every now and again…there’s no way he’s not walking out to bat.
“Tugga would probably kick him out the door, I reckon. He’s fine.
“He got a little bruise [from being] hit on the leg yesterday, he’s a bit stiff this morning but he will be 100 per cent ready to go.”
