1. A hybrid aerosol-generating element for use in an aerosol-generating article, the hybrid aerosol-generating element comprising a liquid retention material holding an aerosol-forming liquid and a solid aerosol-forming substrate in the form of a sheet being a continuous substrate comprising cellulose-containing material, the solid aerosol-forming substrate is arranged next to the liquid retention material, wherein the liquid retention material and the solid aerosol-forming substrate are arranged at least partially at a same longitudinal position of the hybrid aerosol-generating element, wherein the liquid retention material is a tubular element and the solid aerosol-forming substrate is a cylindrical plug element, and wherein the liquid retention material entirely surrounds the solid aerosol-forming substrate, and a liquid impervious wrapper disposed about the liquid retention material, wherein the liquid retention material separates the solid aerosol-forming substrate from the liquid impervious wrapper, and wherein the hybrid aerosol-generating element comprises a susceptor material.
