Historically this has occurred in words like:
Soldier, picture or fissure.
where the reconstructable earlier pronunciation /‘soυldjər/, /‘pıktu:r/, /‘fısju:r/ has become /‘səυldзə/,/‘pıkt∫ə/, /fı∫ə/
In current colloquial English, similar assimilation occurs in phrases such as "What d’you want" /wt∫əwnt/ or
Could you? /‘kυdZu:/.
