MANY football fans are rejoicing at the news that the Bundesliga is all set to return to action this weekend.
After two months away, top level European football will finally be returning to screens.
We meet the partners of the Bundesliga stars returning to action this weekend
There’s much to play for – can any of the chasing pack wrestle top spot from Bayern Munich? Will Bayer Leverkusen sneak into the Champions League places? And can 2004 champions Werder Bremen clamber out of relegation peril?
With Europe still very much battling to contain the coronavirus pandemic, matches will be played behind closed doors for the foreseeable future.
But that doesn’t mean that those nearest and dearest to the league’s stars won’t be cheering them on every step of the way from home.
We introduce you to some of the Wags that will be supporting stars of the likes of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund among others as the show gets back on the road.

Serge Gnabry’s amazing season with Bayern Munich may have been cruelly interrupted by the league’s suspension, but his stunning year doesn’t seem to have been halted too much.
For it is believed that the former Arsenal winger, 24, has been getting cosy with gorgeous Swiss model Sandra Jerze.
The pair are believed to have spent Easter together in Munich, as their new relationship goes from strength to strength.
Jerze once appeared in a music video for a song in which the lead singer dresses in a German national football team kit – but she now seems to have found romance with a real player.

Brazilian supermodel Izabel Goulart was named one of People magazine’s 100 sexiest women in the world in 2007, with the 35-year-old having previously worked as a Victoria’s Secret Angel.
She has since started dating Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, with the pair now engaged.
Goulart will be hoping that Eintracht do well on their return to action, having previously revealed: “Kevin and I make love a lot – four or five times a week.
“But if he has played in an important game and his team loses, I can make myself beautiful, have my nails done and wear my best lingerie – and there still won’t be any sex.”

Robert Lewandowski’s wife Anna is also an athlete worthy of giving her 31-year-old hubby a run for his money.
She is a PE graduate, health and nutrition expert and has even represented Poland in karate championships around the world.
No doubt she has helped to keep Robert in fine shape, as he aims to help Bayern win yet another title over the next few months.

Paulina had to deny rumours that she had vetoed husband Krzysztof’s mooted move to Tottenham in January, but the North Londoners’ loss was to be the Bundesliga’s gain.
Piatek instead ditched AC Milan for a £23.5million switch to Hertha Berlin, and Paulina couldn’t have been happier for him.
She wrote on Instagram: “Any place in the world, that allows my husband to grow, be happy, and make his dreams come true, is perfect for me.”
Krzysztof will be hoping to further vindicate the decision by banging goals in to keep Hertha clear of those dreaded relegation places.
