The 29-year-old missed Blackburn’s 7-1 thrashing at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Pedersen was in great form before sustaining a thigh injury in the win over Aston Villa.
The Blackburn boss told the club’s official website: “Morten isn’t too bad. The risk was how many games that are coming up fast now.
“We could have started him against Manchester United but we decided that he would be 100 per cent next week, on Friday he was at about 90 per cent.”
