The USA international defender was an unused substitute in their 2-0 defeat by Burnley on Saturday having been sidelined for nearly two months because of a medial ligament injury.
"It's good to have another player recover and it's the first time I've seen him training as since I've been here he's been injured," Pelach told BBC Radio Stoke.
"I'm pleased to have him back and it's good to have another option."
Pelach is also hopeful of having Sam Gallagher and Bosun Lawal available sooner rather than later.
