Pietersen, who was bought by Daredevils for USD 1.5 million (Rs 9 crore), had sustained an injury on his right hand little finger during fielding drills with Surrey at The Oval last month.
"Kevin still a few days away so he won't be considered for tomorrow. It is obviously a setback because he's an important player in our set-up and an important player in any team. It is a difficult situation," Daredevils assistant Eric Simons was quoted as saying by 'The Guardian' newspaper.
Pietersen had last week played down the problem with his little finger as a "niggle". He, however, missed DD's practice match against Hyderabad in Dubai on Monday.
It is yet not clear when Pietersen will be available.
"I think we'll take it one day at a time and see how it progresses each morning but he definitely won't be considered for tomorrow," said Simons.
