Ronaldo, who plays for Saudi team Al-Nassr, can add to his international record 118 goals when Portugal plays European Championship qualifiers against Liechtenstein on March 23 and at Luxembourg three days later.
Cristiano Ronaldo on Monday posted a photo of himself on Instagram captioning it with a Portugal flag and a heart emoji to celebrate his return to the Portugal squad after the world Cup.
New Portugal coach Roberto Martínez included Ronaldo in his first squad since taking over from Fernando Santos following the World Cup.
The 38-year-old Ronaldo was left out of Santos' starting lineup for Portugal's knockout-phase games at the tournament in Qatar, including the quarterfinal loss to Morocco.
Ronaldo, who plays for Saudi team Al-Nassr, can add to his international record 118 goals when Portugal plays European Championship qualifiers against Liechtenstein on March 23 and at Luxembourg three days later.
On Saturday, Ronaldo's scored a spectacular free kick for Al Nassr in a Saudi Pro League game against Abha. Ronaldo's long-range leveler came after Abdulfattah Adam had fired Abha into a shock lead midway through the first half.
It was a match of several twists and turns as Abha scored in the first half and it seemed like they would go on to script an incredible result but Ronaldo had other ideas.
Ronaldo also handed the task of converting a winning penalty to a team mate as a gesture of respect as Al Nassr came from behind to defeat Abha 2-1.
The Portuguese forward, who has now scored nine goals in his first season in Saudi Arabia, handed the ball to Brazilian Anderson Talisca, who had just returned from injury.
Talisca converted the 86th-minute spot kick for his 14th goal of the season and celebrated with Ronaldo as Al-Nassr kept up the pressure on Al-Ittihad, who lead the league by one point with nine games remaining.
