He will probaly drop the leg, give him very nutritionist foods and hopefully he will make it, maybe someone else will give better advice

Crabs can heal these types of injuries. Usually they will shed the leg and then very very slowly grow it back. You will see progress of this after each molt. I would suggest lots of protein rich foods. That little guy needs to store up energy! Good luck!
