Erick Olim Mendonça (born 21 July 1995) is a Mexican-born Portuguese futsal player who plays for Sporting CP and the Portugal national team. Erick was diagnosed with Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease when he was 7 years old and was told it would be very unlikely for him to be able to play futsal again, but after spending the following seven years battling the disease, including time spent in a wheelchair, he made a recovery and returned to futsal.[1]
