YAOUNDE (Reuters) - Former African women’s Footballer of the Year Gaelle Enganamouit was named on Friday in Cameroon’s final squad for the women’s World Cup in France despite concerns over her fitness.

The 26-year-old striker, who scored a hat-trick at the last World Cup in Canada, was given a vote of confidence by coach Alain Djeumfa despite only joining up with the squad last week at their training camp in Spain.
