(dpa) - A day after the disappointing goalless draw against Romania in a Euro 2008 Group C match, France won a friendly against a regional youth side 7-0.

The game, which was played over 45 minutes, gave coach Raymond Domenech a chance to see whether Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry would be able to play in their next game after overcoming their injuries.

Both played the entire 45 minutes and should be available for the match on Friday against the Netherlands.

Some 2,000 spectators saw Samir Nasri score a brace, while the other goals were scored by Patrick Evra, Lassana Diarra, Sydney Govou, Bafetimbi Gomis and Henry.
