the recent ASEAN Football Federation Cup.
Manh was sent off in the 75th minute of the semi-final match against Indonesia after he trampled on player Bayu Pradana last month.
Vietnam lost the match and was eliminated from the tournament.
AFC said it was a non-sporting behaviour.
As a result, Manh cannot take part in the 2019 Asian Cup. He will not be attending the national team’s training course to prepare for the competition, which begins in March.
