It is not yet known whether the injury is likely to mean the defender misses the Champions League final with Barcelona, or if the Italian only stopped as a precaution.
"Chiellini was forced to leave the field with a sore left calf," the Bianconeri confirmed in a statement.
"His condition will be evaluated tomorrow."
Meanwhile, Andrea Barzagli looks likely to be fit enough to make the squad for the match in Berlin.
The 34-year-old went off at half-time in the win over Napoli, and was later revealed to be suffering from a thigh injury.
However, Barzagli completed the entire session with his teammates today.
