I am not familiar with the Trent on the A330 .... but looking at the damage, it might possibly be a pneumatic duct break causing an overpressure in the nose cowl (pressure relief panel not operating as it should). If the Fan blades had let go, then I would have expected damage all around the cowl, but even then not as far forward as the photo shows. Will await further info.
