Ronaldo, along with Jadon Sancho, Harry Maguire and Phil Jones, all are missing from the losing side Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League last week.
Maguire and Jones are also injured but will return for Saturday’s game against Villa.
Regarding Ronaldo’s absence, Rangnick said: “I spoke to Cristiano yesterday before training, he told me that he has had some problems in the last few days.
“Small issues, but in the end we decided it made more sense not to take any risks in a match that could easily last 120 minutes, so we decided to give him he rests.
“He’s had some problems with his hips, with his hip muscles. I don’t think it’s anything serious.”
