Is this repairable?

There used to be a surface mounted capacitor here. The retention pin for the CPU's heatsink broke, and when moved, decapitated the capacitor. In the process it appears to have pulled/tore some of the copper. I know what capacitor I need, and I think I have spares. The question though is the damage to the PCB too severe to even try? Is the entire light green area one plane? or were there multiple layers/traces that are now cut? This is a switch motherboard, and this is in the area of the main processor (outer edge). I would assume a capacitor of that size would be filtering the main voltage line or some such thing. Any thoughts or ideas?
