Help Can no longer access Google sync settings in my phone

Yesterday, I have added a second Google account to my phone. I later noticed that I can no longer manage Google accounts in Settings >> Accounts >> Google (because the Google option is missing, but others like Dropbox are still there). The option to add a Google account is gone too.
(Settings >> Accounts >> Google used to be there)

Now, I am no longer able to access sync options, neither to remove those accounts from my phone if I want to. I couldnt find any similar problems or solutions... Anyone has any ideas?
Using Android 5.0/Asus Zenfone 2

You should have a cog wheel for Google services as well.
