Newcastle United WAG shares holiday snaps of Champions League star like you've never seen him before
Newcastle United defender Fabian Schar enjoys some downtime with his partner Alexandra Munger.
International break for some is jetting to far flung corners or the intensity of World Cup qualifiers. For others it’s a little more sleepy.
And having given up the hustle and bustle of Switzerland duty, and the responsibility it brings, it seems it’s time for Fabian Schar to enjoy the good life this winter.
He might have just lost his place in the Newcastle United team, but he’s definitely not losing in life, as snaps shared by long-term girlfriend Alexandra Munger show.
Munger has taken to social media to share snaps and videos of the pair away on a break - with Eddie Howe giving the players a few days R&R. It appears as if the pair are in North Africa, although she does not share the location.
Schar can be seen wandering the streets, with a street hawker attempting to get his attention. The couple are also pictured at a restaurant, after enjoying a day of winter sun away from their Tyneside home.
Who is Fabian Schar’s girlfriend, Alexandra Munger?
Alexandra Munger is the girlfriend of Switzerland and Newcastle United defender Schar. And as mentioned in the above piece, she has recently relocated to Tyneside to live with the Carabao Cup hero, who she has been in a relationship with since before he joined the Magpies. Schar joined United in the summer of 2018, coming in on a cut-price deal from Deportivo La Coruna.
Munger, like Schar, is an academic, being a Master of Law, while also currently studying for a PhD from the University of Zurich.
Newcastle United v Brighton & Hove Albion - will Fabian Schar return?
The Swiss has lost his place in the Newcastle United XI, despite previously being an ever-present in the side this season and last. A head injury, which required him to sit out around 10 days due to concussion protocols meant that summer signing from AC Milan, Malick Thiaw stepped into the side.
And since then, Thiaw has been near flawless alongside Sven Botman, with both Schar, now on the bench, and Dan Burn, shifted to the left, out of their usual spots in the side. It remains to be seen whether head coach Eddie Howe decides to return Schar to the side down on the south coast.
