I noticed a broken spoke on the rear wheel on my Giant Roam 0 (2015). Can this be repaired by a bike shop or will the wheelset need replacing? Wheelset is Giant SX-2.

Has it just come unscrewed And not snapped at either end?
Is the nipple still attached to the rim to screw the spoke into?
The spoke key is whichever size fits around the nipple attached to the rim as that is the bit you turn to tighten spokes.
I haven't done a loose or broken spoke for a long, long time, so my knowledge might be out of date. But last time I did one, a spoke key was a mere convenience. It used to be possible to do it with a pair of pliars and a screwdriver.
