Les Bleues signed an offensive festival against North Macedonia (11-0) to get closer to qualifying for Euro-2022, with a quadruplet from Eugénie Le Sommer, despite the absence of coach Corinne Deacon, confined , and Captain Amandine Henry, Friday in Orléans.

The French, taken for a few days in the turmoil following the non-summons of Henry by Deacon for "sporting criteria", reassured themselves before going to challenge Austria on Tuesday.

The Austrians, who also have five wins in five matches, are tied with France in Group G of these qualifications.
