Just cut off the unsightly burnt leaf.
The other leaves seem to have a powdery residue, possibly mildew but hard to tell from the photo. Give it a good hard spray with the hose and a well ventilated sunny position.

Cheers.. remove the whole leaf or just the damage?

cutting off the whole leaf will look nicer, and wont cause any issues anyway.
