The Blues are in Istanbul to meet Liverpool in the competition, having won last season's Europa League.
Kante came off the bench during the course of his side's 4-0 Old Trafford drubbing and is being assessed but Willian could be named on the bench.
"Kante has a small injury and I will make a decision with that with him," Lampard told his pre-match press conference.
"Willian and Rudiger are here and they are in different stages. Willian is not far from fit, to put him n a high intensity match is tough.
"He will be working through this week on fitness. Tomorrow he will be on the bench. Similarly with Rudiger."
