Marcus Rashford has equalled a 52-year-old record set by Jack Charlton for the most England appearances in a calendar year.
As reported in The Times, the Manchester United forward has represented the Three Lions 16 times since the beginning of 2018, drawing level with the World Cup winning centre-half’s total for 1966.
Gareth’s Southgate side have played 17 times this year, also equalling the record set by Sir Alf Ramsey's 1966 world champions.
An unexpected run to the World Cup semi-finals in Russia over the summer has been the key component of England’s crowded fixture schedule, alongside the introduction of the UEFA Nations League and a series of friendlies.
