Ronaldo played 234 times for Portugal and scored 146 goals - a world record.
However, the forward's powers have been waning in recent years and he fell out with national coach Jorge Jesus last month after he refused to play him in a Nations League match.
Ronaldo immediately left the team camp and was handed a 30-day suspension.
