most dicts only list this as a verb but it can also be used as a noun.

瑞典队主帅安德森最后时刻的2个换人,原本是为了用反击给德国队制造更多威胁,希望他们用充沛的体能给德国队制造麻烦。

plc: substitution (of players)
abc (sport) substitute
occ: substitute one player for another
key: (athletics) substitute/put in a new shift or new workers

Not true. PLC has a noun gloss - "substitution".

You include "substitue" as a gloss. I assume that's your noun gloss.
Perhaps you meant "substitution"?
More likely, you meant "substitute", I suppose?
I don't know because you didn't reply in the review queue discussion.

If you meant "substitution", that's fine.
If you meant "substitute" you should have provided multiple examples, since it's not a meaning that's in dicts.
I think 换人 means "substitution" in your example, not "substitute".

There's a term for "substitute player" in the sports context: 替补队员.
"这位替补队员" - 10,500 results
"这位换人" - zero results
I did various other searches for 换人 that also suggest 换人 doesn't refer to a person.
Diff:
# 換人 换人 [huan4 ren2] /to substitute players (sports)/substitue/to change (workers)/
+ 換人 换人 [huan4 ren2] /to replace sb (personnel, sports team player etc)/substitution/
