Olivier Giroud hopes that Gary Cahill will stay at Chelsea despite the club captain claiming he might leave in January .
Antonio Rudiger's injury against West Ham led to Cahill's first appearance of the season as he stepped off the bench at the London Stadium, but the England international has failed to even make the majority of his side's match day squads in 2018-19.
Cahill had a major role in Antonio Conte's back three when the club won the Premier League and FA Cup over the past two campaigns, but Maurizio Sarri has not found a use for the 32-year-old after switching back to a back four.
