Former England winger Andros Townsend escaped injury after a pitch roller struck him during a warm‑up in the Thai Pro League. The PT Prachuap player was rolling over his leg as he flicked a ball, prompting concerned teammates. Townsend later posted a video on social media captioned "Just another day in Thai Football [he was fine!]". He featured off the bench in PT Prachuap’s 3‑0 win over Pattani. The 34‑year‑old, who also plays for Kanchanaburi Power, joked on Instagram that his Stoke away experience "wasn't so bad after all" and shared a meme‑style post calling him "The King of Memes in Thai League history".

Townsend’s Thai league stint follows previous spells at Antalyaspor, Luton Town and other clubs. The incident highlights the unpredictable nature of training sessions in foreign leagues. He remains in good spirits, using humor to cope with the bizarre event.
