Quoted by Portuguese news agency Lusa, he said: "I am completely ruled out for the ninth because my return date is the 10th, there is no chance."

Ronaldo, 31, also addressed the prospect of renewing his contract in Madrid.

"I spoke to the president on the phone and when I get to Madrid, we will talk about it," he said.

"Obviously it's something I want, I have mentioned it many times, and the club also wants it. But we only spoke briefly, and there will be more concrete things to come."
