Former England and Tottenham winger Andros Townsend is run over by a pitch roller during warm-up for a Thai League match. Multiple outlets report that footage from the incident shows the player being struck by a vehicle used on the pitch.
Townsend is playing for PT Prachuap in Thailand, and the incident occurs before a fixture as he prepares to take part in the game. Outlets also say he avoids serious injury. The Athletic and other reports describe the episode as happening ahead of a Saturday Thai Pro League match.
Different coverage focuses on context and reaction rather than disputing the core facts. One outlet emphasizes the unusual or “bizarre” nature of the incident and references circulating video. Another highlights Townsend’s response afterward, including that he jokes about the accident on social media. Across reports, the agreed elements are the match-day timing, the location in Thailand, and that Townsend does not appear to suffer major harm.
