Slow down your speech a bit (like listen to it in super slow mo) and you’ll realize there’s definitely a schwa sound between the N and the L sounds. Just how our mouths work moving through the shapes for them creates a schwa sound.

By that logic, should not there be a schwa after the L too? That would be absurd.
