Thursday.

Below Copied from gov site

5. The period that your healthcare professional’s advice covers. This will either be from the date of the assessment (Box 1), or between a particular start and end date. These dates are inclusive (so a fit note dated from 2 April to 10 April will no longer apply from 11 April onwards). This section may cover a previous period if your healthcare professional thinks that your condition has affected your fitness for work before your assessment. This can be for any time up to an indefinite period.

You would return on the 10th if your sick note covers you to the 9th.
