The pair are yet to play under the Spaniard following his appointment as Blues boss on November 22, having already spent several games on the sidelines.
Lampard returned to full training on Tuesday as he recovers from a calf injury but, like Terry, who is still suffering from a knee injury, will not be risked in their final group match.
Benitez told reporters on Tuesday: "Tomorrow's game is still too early for John Terry and Frank Lampard."

"We cannot be worrying about the other game tomorrow, we have to focus on winning our own game," the Blues manager remarked.
"The main thing for us is to win. [Fernando] Torres is an important player for us but we need goals from other players too. I am confident we'll do well tomorrow. The players know we have to win, and win well tomorrow, we are ready."

The Spaniard is determined to bounce back from the 3-1 Premier League defeat to West Ham on Saturday and feels that, despite the loss, there were encouraging signs on the pitch.
"We have to analyse what happened in the second half on Saturday and provide a solution to ensure it doesn't happen again," he continued.
"There are a lot of positives to take from Saturday's game. The players are working really hard and training very well. Every training session the commitment is there, players want to win and they are working hard to perform."
