Ex-Newcastle defender Jean-Alain Boumsong was dropped by his country as David Trezeguet netted twice as France completed a routine victory over the Faroe Islands in Sochaux.
Trezeguet, who started on the bench, grabbed a late double to add to efforts from Louis Saha, Thierry Henry and fellow substitute Nicolas Anelka.
The central defender was dropped after Scotland beat France on Saturday.
