Walcott has started only once in the Premier League for the Gunners since returning from an ankle injury back in October after starting the season in good form.
He could again be on the bench for Monday's trip to title rivals Manchester United and has voiced his frustration at the situation.
After coming on as a substitute to score against Partizan Belgrade in the UEFA Champions League last week, the 21-year-old admitted he is at the age where he needs to be starting games on a regular basis.
Wenger acknowledged Walcott's current predicament, but believes the England international will get his opportunity in the coming weeks.
"Frankly I can understand that because for me Theo Walcott is doing well," said Wenger. "For me he is not an impact player, he is a regular player.
"At the moment he does not play as often as he should but he will play soon.
"In fairness, Theo is fantastic. His attitude and behaviour has been absolutely great."
