Backed by some 5,000 away supporters who were in fine voice throughout, the visitors took a shock lead when Scott Quigley put them in front, but Wanderers rallied and got back on level terms when Eoin Doyle equalised and then went ahead thanks to Elias Kachunga.
But County equalised in first half stoppage time when Ben Whitfield slotted home, with the tie being taken to a replay at Edgeley Park and the game likely to be played on Tuesday, November 16.
John did not emerge for the second half of the clash against the Hatters, with Liam Gordon taking his place on the left hand side of the defence.
Speaking after the encounter, Evatt revealed that John was taken off due to chest pains and was struggling to breathe after a non-Covid related illness in the week.
Evatt said: “He had one or two chest pains. We don’t know what that is. He’s had a bit of illness in the week.
"Obviously there’s not really Covid issues, but there’s quite a lot of heavy colds flying around and chesty coughs and he’s had one of those.
"He was struggling a bit to breathe.”
