Runway Damage

Below is an image of an Emirates 777 from a few months ago that burst tyres on landing, thus causing the damage to MLE runway. My questions is what would be the procedure for the tunway after this, would it still be useable, immediately after the aircraft and FOD has been removed? Or would they have to come out and do minor repairs, like filling the small grooves? Or would they have to remove a large section of the damaged runway and re-Tarmac said area?

Incident: Emirates B773 at Male on Dec 2nd 2011, burst tyres on landing

Apologies as I can't seem to manage to add the photo, I've attached a link and the picture is on there.
