The Arsenal and England midfielder told fans during a Google Hangout that he felt the loss of the club captain in the aftermath of his move to Barcelona.
"I was really upset about Fabregas leaving," he said. "He was the captain and you always went to him if you had a problem."
"He gave me a chance when I was 16 and brought me into the first team," continued Wilshere. "He picked me out and gave me that chance to train with the first team. He put his arm around me.
"Some games I didn't play well but he still stuck with me, when you're young you do make mistakes."
