The reason is none other than the yellow card he received in the 90th minute of the match for delay, in order to serve his penalty with Gibraltar in Faliro and to be "clean" in the draws with the Croatians.
The Disciplinary Committee of the World Federation examined the video and punished the international Greek stopper with a match. In fact, his sentence can not be appealed and therefore Michael Skibe will not have him at his disposal in Zagreb.
Watch the video with the famous phase and draw your own conclusions. Obviously, Manolas is also looking for the card, no one denies it and for that he does not complain.
However, it is something that we see in too many games, of all competitions, without a corresponding punishment. In fact, the punishment came about a month after the match with Cyprus and after the calls of Michael Skibe had been made, even if the EPO was aware that FIFA would investigate the case.
