Worst that happens is that it doesn't come back, but I definitely think it could be saved...

I don't know if it can be saved, you didn't post a good photo.

I would trim the leaves off and plant it a little deep, if it roots it will be above the cut, use very little water and no direct sun.

I've done this thousands of times and coarse sand/crushed stone will work better than potting soil.

If your plant does eventually root, normally in about 10 days, the center shaft of the pseudostem will typically bind/choke and a new pseudostem will emerge, this is completely normal and the bulge will be easy to notice.

Good Luck & Hope these photos will help.
