Reports have suggested that the Blues might allow the veteran playmaker to leave at the end of the season, with the MLS tipped as his likely destination.
However, the 34-year-old again proved his worth at Stamford Bridge after firing home the third goal in a 4-1 win over Wigan on Saturday, and also netted the winner for England against Brazil in a friendly last week.
And although Benitez refused to comment on the Lampard's future in west London, he did suggest the midfielder would be part of the Three Lions set-up at the 2014 World Cup.
When asked whether he expected to see Lampard at next year's footballing spectacular, the Spaniard said: "Yes, I think so. He is a good professional. If he has no injuries he can still play at a good level."
