Former England and Tottenham winger Andros Townsend is run over by a pitch roller during a warm-up in Thailand. Multiple outlets report the incident happens before a Thai league match, with video footage showing the roller coming into contact with him.

All accounts say Townsend avoids serious injury. Coverage describes it as a bizarre, freak accident that does not keep him from participating in the game. Some outlets emphasize that he later plays in the match, while others focus on the extent of the contact and the fact that the incident is captured on camera.

Several reports also highlight Townsend’s public response. One outlet notes that he laughs off the incident and shares a lighthearted reaction on social media. Others concentrate more on the match context—his Thai League club PT Prachuap and the timing relative to the fixture—rather than his comments.
