Ledley sustained a hip problem in Crystal Palace's 1-1 draw at Swansea City last Sunday and has opted to withdraw from the squad
The 27-year-old follows Charlton Athletic striker Simon Church in becoming the second player to pull out because of injury concerns
"Joe Ledley will be returning to Palace," Coleman said
"He has got a hip problem that never really settled down after Sunday's game. We won't take the chance with Joe.
Defender Ashley Williams is fit despite experiencing sickness during Swansea's clash with Palace, while Real Madrid's Gareth Bale is expected to play a full part in the game in Cardiff following his participation in the derby with Atletico Madrid last weekend
"I was never worried about 'Baley'. He has been here before when he's known he is not going to play and has made the trip anyway to be with us. It is great to have him," Coleman added
"He was involved in a tough game at the weekend - the Madrid derby was brutal at times
"My heart was in my mouth on one or two occasions but he has come through that. He is here and raring to go.
