Marcus Rashford Nears Record for Most Substitute Appearances for England

England forward Marcus Rashford is on the verge of breaking a unique record as he prepares to feature in the upcoming friendlies against Brazil and Belgium. The Manchester United star could match Jermain Defoe’s record for the most substitute appearances for England if he comes off the bench in both games. As England readies for the crucial friendlies as part of their Euro 2024 preparations, Rashford’s potential milestone has garnered attention. To match Defoe’s record, Rashford must not start but make substitute appearances in both matches. If Rashford achieves this feat, he will equal the record held by former striker Jermain Defoe, who made 35 substitute appearances in 57 caps for England. Rashford, with 33 substitute appearances to his name, is poised to join Defoe in the record books.
