The Gunners confirmed on Tuesday that the England international faces an extended lay-off as he prepares to undergo surgery on his left fibula.
Wilshere sustained the injury in pre-season and is set to miss much of the remainder of 2015.
Ahead of Arsenal's Champions League opener against Dinamo Zagreb, though, Wenger remained upbeat about Wilshere's chances of making a full recovery.
"With Wilshere we have had bad news, he will need surgery and will be out four around three months," the Frenchman explained.
"He is young enough to get over this, l'm confident he can make the career his talent deserves.
"He is disappointed but he has shown in the past he can deal with that. He is determined to come back as quickly as possible.
"It is not a career-threatening injury. He can still play again this season."
