Notes

  1. ^ Fellaini caps against Romania on 14 November 2012, against Luxembourg on 26 May 2014 and against Czech Republic (included his one goal) on 5 June 2017 were counted by RBFA but not officially recognised by FIFA due to an excessive number of substitutions according to the Laws of the Game.[26][27][28][29]
