It would be nice to get an update on this from someone on site.
If it was going to a shop for repair it's more than likely that it has already been removed and transported away.

If it's only fan damage (not internal stuff like HP turbine) many engine repairs are often made on wing after a bird strike.

If the shroud casing bits around the fan blade tips are heavily damaged then it just may end up replaced anyway.

Since I haven't seen a photo it aint worth guessing, about the only thing one might hear from the grapevine is whether it was replaced or not.

tdtracer's unreliable friend had a very believeable story about the damage so take your pick
