Three crosses 1-0 defeat
van Ewijk registered one shot (zero on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Fulham.
Analysis: Van Ewijk was unable to help his side find the back of the net as they lost 1-0 to Fulham. He attempted three crosses and wasn't able to complete any. This was the second time this season that he has attempted three crosses. He also took his first shot of the season, but was also unable to find the target.
Starting vs. Newcastle
van Ewijk (hamstring) is in the starting lineup for Monday's match against Coventry City.
Analysis: Van Ewijk was deemed on track to play against the Magpies, and the defender is fit enough to make the starting lineup altogether. The defender missed the win over Nottingham Forest just before the international break, but he has quickly regained his place in the XI. Through five starts, van Ewijk has 13 clearances, six tackles and five interceptions this season.
On track for Newcastle clash
Van Ewijk (hamstring) has returned to team training and could be available for Monday's clash against Newcastle United, according to coach Frank Lampard. "Milan is back training, that's good news. We hope he'll be right if he comes through the next few days."
Analysis: Van Ewijk is closing in on a return after missing Coventry's win over Nottingham Forest with a hamstring injury. The right-back has resumed training with the squad, though his availability against Newcastle will depend on how he responds over the next few days. Van Ewijk had started every Premier League match before his injury, with Caleb Yirenkyi stepping into the right wing-back role against Forest. The Dutchman could reclaim his starting spot if declared fully fit.
Hopeful to return after break
Van Ewijk (hamstring) missed Saturday's 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest, and coach Frank Lampard hopes to have the right-back available after the international break, per Coventry Live. "Milan has got a hamstring issue which we hope will see him back on the other side of the break,"
Analysis: Van Ewijk sat out Saturday's win at Nottingham Forest with a small hamstring issue, his first absence of the season, and Caleb Yirenkyi filled the right wing-back role in his place. Coach Frank Lampard's comments point to a short layoff, and the international break gives the right-back additional time to recover. Yirenkyi could continue on the right until Van Ewijk is cleared
Out Saturday with hamstring issue
Van Ewijk is out of Saturday's match at Nottingham Forest with a small hamstring issue, according to the club.
Analysis: Van Ewijk missed the midweek cup fixture without an immediate explanation, but the club has now confirmed an injury. head coach Frank Lampard has framed the hamstring problem as a minor one and the expectation is that the break gives him enough time to recover, which would put him back in contention for the resumption. The Dutchman has been a regular in the wing-back role this season.
Three tackles in loss
van Ewijk registered one cross (one accurate) and three tackles in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 19th minute.
Analysis: van Ewijk made three tackles during Saturday's loss, as well as sending in a cross. That's a nice performance during the defeat in one of the toughest matches of the campaign. He should be a big part of the team, and will hope he can translate this performance into some more manageable matches. If he does so he could have some sneaky upside, though it's hard to trust any Coventry defenders.
Creates two chances
van Ewijk registered three crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Hull City.
Analysis: Van Ewijk was one of Coventry's more productive creators, generating two key passes while completing two of his three crosses from right-back. He also won his lone tackle and created Jay Dasilva's late headed opportunity. His speed and attacking intent from defense should remain an important part of Coventry's approach, particularly when the side needs additional width against deeper defensive blocks.
One tackle Friday
van Ewijk had one tackle (zero won), three clearances and one interception in Friday's 3-0 defeat versus Arsenal.
Analysis: van Ewijk made a single tackles and three clearances as he tried anything to get a touch of the ball in a match that Arsenal controlled throughout. The defender was unable to get on the ball as Arsenal simply dominated the match from start-to-finish. van Ewijk should find some other matches more manageable than taking on the reigning champions.
Playmaker for Sky Blues
Van Ewijk recorded nine assists across 44 league appearances in the 2025/26 Championship season.
Analysis: Playing in his third season with the Sky Blues, van Ewijk was tied for the team's lead in assists and also logged over 3,700 minutes. A competent left-back who thrives when pushing forward, van Ewijk should at least have a rotational role with Coventry in the 2026/27 Premier League campaign.
