After spending the majority of the season out of Maurizio Sarri's squad, Cahill was given a Stamford Bridge send-off on Sunday in the Blues' 3-0 win over Watford.
It is likely to be his final appearance for the club, despite fixtures against Eintracht Frankfurt and Leicester to come this week and a potential Europa League final.

"I have watched this league since I was a kid and I know how hard it is to go out every single week and try to get three points, as you saw in this game in the first half against Watford, so to do that consistently throughout the period of a season and to win the trophy is one of the best feelings as well."
Watch moreFormer Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah was also handed a rare appearance by visitors Watford, making his first league start since December.
His manager Javi Gracia had been impressed with his performance during the first half and Chalobah told Watford's official website: "It's been a very difficult year for me, coming in and out, but I just tried to give everything I can.

"I left it all out there and I blew up after about 50 minutes! It's always difficult not playing games and that match fitness and sharpness is something you always lack when you don't get that opportunity.
"But what can I do? The boys been flying this year and you've got to look at it that way and keep going."
