Keep checking, they may well allow online rebooking. Otherwise call up or go to FCO tomorrow. It is unlikely to auto rebook (this typically happens for advance cancellations, rather than previous ones).

I'll use this point to say that until we know the exact cause I don't know for sure whether this is EC261 eligible in terms of compensation (but it seems to be heading that way from what I can make out). Right to care will apply however for rebooking.
