Notably, Ronaldo has been in the news for his controversial interview with British journalist Piers Morgan.
In the interview, which was released in two parts earlier this week, Ronaldo said that he felt "betrayed" by his current club, Manchester United, claiming that manager Erik ten Hag and other senior executives are trying to force him out of the club.
On Friday, United issued an official statement mentioning that it had initiated "appropriate steps" in response to the explosive interview given by the Portuguese star.
Ronaldo, who re-joined United from Juventus in July 2021, 24 goals in all competitions last season. However, United endured a poor season as they failed to qualify for the Champions League.
Porugal have been drawn in Group alongside two-time winners Uruguay, South Korea and Ghana.
They will open their campaign on November 24 against Ghana.
Having admitted that this is most likely his last World Cup, Ronaldo is keen to add another trophy to his cabinet.
