Worried about French article being approved (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cleared

'being approved' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'worried about french article' is the wordplay.
'worried' becomes 'cared'.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'french article' becomes 'le' (definite article in French).
'cared' enclosing 'le' is 'CLEARED'.

(Other definitions for cleared that I've seen before include "found not guilty" , "Acquitted" , "Exonerated" , "free" , "approved" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
