LONDON, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Olympique Lyon coach Alain Perrin has said that striker Karim Benzema is a doubt for Tuesday's match at home to Barcelona in Group E.

The France striker picked up a thigh injury during his side's 2-0 league win at Stade Rennes at the weekend.

"He has a 30 to 40 per cent of chance of playing. If the game was today, he would not play but tomorrow is another day," Perrin told a news conference on Monday. "We will make a decision tomorrow."
