The young Foxes entertain Tottenham Hotspur Under-21s at LCFC Training Ground on Monday evening – an opening-weekend clash which City fans can watch live on LCFC TV from 6:45pm. Wales youth international Ewing is excited by the challenge after a productive pre-season.
"It’s been an intense pre-season schedule with loads of games," the talented midfielder said. "I know results aren’t crucial in pre- season but we’ve won the majority of those games which naturally builds momentum and confidence.
"I’m feeling sharp and really looking forward to getting the season up and running next week. Quite a few of the other lads have also been training with the first team too which can only be a positive for the Development Squad."
After impressing many during 2021/22, Ewing now wants to kick on in the new season, playing regularly for Leicester's Under-21s.
"I like to set a few targets at the start of each year to keep me motivated," he added. "The main one is to stay injury free and to play as many minutes as physically possible. Just being on the pitch regularly will present opportunities as the year goes by and I want to make my mark this year.
"It’s important to take things game-by-game because things can change so quickly in football. My main focus is to begin the season well and stay consistent."
