Two saves in loss
Rushworth recorded two saves and allowed three goals in Friday's 3-0 defeat to Arsenal.
Analysis: Rushworth only faced five shots against the reigning champions and only managed to make a pair of saves as Arsenal proved to be too good to beat. The goalkeeper did his best, but just couldn't keep up. It's likely to be a long season for the newly-promoted side and Rushworth as they cope with the quality of the Premier League.
Rejoining Brighton
Rushworth is back with his parent club Brighton with his loan period at Coventry City coming to an end after the 2025/26 season.
Analysis: Rushworth was a key starter for the newly promoted Coventry side, averaging 2.7 saves and 1.0 goals conceded per contest while securing 17 clean sheets over 46 appearances in the English Championship last season. Given that Brighton are currently well covered in goal with Bart Verbruggen and Jason Steele, Rushworth's future value is still unclear, as he could either serve as a backup option or be loaned again for upcoming seasons.
Thrives in starting role
Rushworth started in each of Coventry's 46 matches during the 2025/26 Championship season.
Analysis: Rushworth was a key player for the Sky Blues, but it remains to be seen whether he'll remain with the club for the upcoming 2026/27 campaign. Rushworth was on loan from Brighton, and he has to report to the Seagulls for pre-season duty. Coventry want to sign Rushworth on a permanent basis in the summer, though.
