Not technically. But although dictionaries show "shield" (and yield and peeled) as a one-syllable word (sheeld), the failure of the trailing D to merge with the L does make it sound like two, and it can be pronounced that way with a false schwa (shee-uld).

The same thing happens in the -ILD words child and wild. The YLD isn't pronounced together.

The same with the words spied and glide, which can effectively end in a "duh."
