"Danny presented us with personal reasons that prevent him from being at the preparation camp and we accepted them," the Portuguese federation said in a statement.
Danny, who was on the scoresheet for Zenit St. Petersburg in last week's 3-1 Champions League win against Porto, has been regularly called-up to the national side since Paulo Bento took over last year.
