Ledley has missed the last three games including Friday's FA Cup defeat by Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Johnson also sat out the United game.
"Neither were close to making the United game," said manager Gary Rowett.

"Both have back injuries, both are a little bit stiff and sore, and so it is going to depend on the treatment.
"We will have to wait and see how they are for Birmingham. We hope they will be available but at this moment I would say they are a doubt."
