Fill the damaged area with wood filler using a putty knife.
Carefully lift up the loose veneer and use a putty knife to scrape away as much loose dried glue as possible.

Try to not get the floor too wet as water will damage particle board.
Use a small stick or a pencil to keep the surfaces apart for 15 minutes or so until the glue is no longer shiny.

Wood filler will not adhere to dirt.
Use a vacuum to remove dust dirt and small pieces of particle board.
