Looks to be fairly straightforward to fix, assuming the GND track doesn't have more damage around the area.  Hard to tell if the track is cut/ripped around the large solder blob where the wire is attached.  Scraping the green solder mask to expose the copper underneath and adding more solder wouldn't hurt.

@Champ85 is right enough, fixed a few things over the years with that technique, nothing to lose and plenty to gain. 
 

The only thing I’d add is scrape gently so as to keep the trace intact. I’ve gotten greedy before and gone all the way through on cheap boards, not sure of the quality of that one.
