The players then traveled to Denmark on Saturday 1-2 defeat against Chelsea and boss Steve Cooper was fired 24 hours later.
A video, unverified by BBC Sport, emerged showing the team celebrating at a Copenhagen club, with a sign nearby reading “Enzo, I miss you” – a reference to former manager Enzo Maresca.
Dawson, who will captain the Premier League trip to Brentford on Saturday The appointment of Ruud van Nistelrooy is expected soon, confirmed that the force had been spoken to.
“The key message they received from the club was that what happened was unacceptable and we must move on,” he said.
“That's it. All eyes were on performing and training well to achieve a result.”
“Every player needs a break. The time-out was fixed back then and the players had the right to do whatever they wanted. The specific problem was quickly resolved internally and we moved forward with it.”
Leicester are in 16th place in the Premier League, one point above the relegation zone.
