No big deal.

Find the capacitor with the pad, desolder it. clean the area on the board of any junk and put a drop of crazy glue on the missing pad area. Put the torn pad on the glue in the correct orientation ( so that the pad aligns with the broken trace), let dry. Using an exacto remove the conformal coating over the trace so there is a slight bit of bare copper showing. Reflow solder onto the pad as you would to replace the capacitor (I remove all the old solder from the pads using a copper wick and soldering iron, cleaning it with 100% alcohol when done) while also bridgeing the broken trace with solder. Get a meter and make sure you have continuity between the pad and the other side of the broken trace, then finish recapping.
