France shrugged off Kylian Mbappe’s absence and Antoine Griezmann’s retirement to comfortably overcome Israel 4-1 in the Nations League on Thursday.
Eduardo Camavinga and Christopher Nkunku set France on their way with first-half goals in Budapest, where Israel are playing all their home games due to the security situation in the Middle East. Didier Deschamps named a squad that for the first time since 2016 did not feature either Mbappe or Griezmann.
