Cahill has played in all 32 games to help Chelsea establish a four-point lead at the top of the Premier League with six games remaining.
Conte appears resigned to being without his on-field captain this season.
Conversely, should Chelsea prevail it would surely give them the impetus to claim the Premier League and FA Cup double they last achieved under Carlo Ancelotti in 2010.
"It's great to play in those kind of games, semi-finals and finals".
"This has been the toughest decision of my life for me and my family, but I always envisaged leaving on the right terms, in the right way and at the right time - and that is now".
"For me all that has happened here is a massive success", the former Argentina worldwide told reporters with the same intensity with which he used to fly into tackles for Newells Old Boys.
Chelsea lost their last match against Manchester United - they've not lost back-to-back games in all competitions since April 2016 (vs Swansea and Man City).
Carrie Fisher helped write the script for 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'
In all likelihood to Luke's aforementioned statement, the title Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a direct sequel to The Force Awakens. Kylo Ren ( Adam Driver ) has dropped his mask, Rey's learning to harness the Force and Finn (John Boyega) looks asleep.
"If you ask me for tomorrow my answer is it will be very hard", said Conte on Cahill's chances of playing at Wembley.
"It's a more experienced team than us, but we're in a good moment - a hungry team". He was also referring to Branislav Ivanovic and John Obi Mikel, who both left in January.
"For sure this task won't be easy".
Conte refused to be drawn on speculation linking Spanish striker Diego Costa with a move to the Chinese Super League, insisting his focus was on helping Chelsea to a league and cup double for the first time since 2009-10. "I hope to be a part of it", Begovic said.
There are lasting concerns about the fitness of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who missed the defeat to Manchester United Sunday with an ankle injury, while Marcos Alonso was ruled out through illness.
On what impact the result may have on the title, Conte added: "I don't know, these are two different competitions. We are building a foundation and he is important to this". "I think in the past, in that moment, that was the foundation".
