Andros Townsend was warming up for PT Prachuap's game at Pattani when the driver lost control of the vehicle.
Former England international Andros Townsend was partially run over by a pitch roller during a football warm-up session in Thailand, but suffered only minor injuries. The 35-year-old, who played for Spurs, Crystal Palace and Everton, was at a match between PT Prachuap and Pattani when the incident occurred. The pitch roller lost control of its vehicle, leading Townsend to be trapped under the heavy equipment.
In the aftermath, footage showed Townsend attempting to remove the roller while the driver leapt out to assist. The former defender later shared on social media that his experience in Thailand wasn't as bad as initially thought. Townsend earned 13 caps for England during his time with the national team.
